I spent several years in a Sunday school class at the Willard CMA with Susie annd she was always so refreshing in her outlook on life. Her love for God was deep and she often told her story of “before and after” her faith. She just beamed in her salvation story. She is still cherished and will be missed. You are loved Sweet Susie.

Susie was a very special person who brought me much encouragement. It was my joy many years ago to share the gospel with her and lead her into a personal relationship with Jesus. She was spiritually hungry and grew to be a wonderful woman of God. She is now with the Lord, enjoying the joys of His presence. My life is so much richer because of Susie.

My thoughts and prayer to the Bland family. What a beautiful, warm, loving person. Susie disciples me years ago and her faith and love for God was undeniable. Thank you Lord for allowing me to get to know Susie. And I know how much she loved her family and her Grandchildren. Hold those cherished memories close and know she is Heaven watching over you all. RIP Susie🙏
