I remember Susan from South Haven Walmart and also at South Haven hospital when she worked in the kitchen. She was always such a nice, sweet person! What a tragic loss of such an amazing person! Prayers for your family during this time.

My sincerest condolonces to LeGrand and Deborah at this sad time. Susan was the kindest and sweetest person and was always smiling. I will never forget that smile! The world has lost a beautiful person, but Heaven has received the sweetest Angel. God's blessings to all of you from the Slone family.

Legran & Deborah Bloomstine and the rest of Susan's family. May the Great God of Comfort, Jehovah, be with you during this time of extreme grief. We know from our personal conversations wiht Susan that Susan wholeheartedly believed in the resurrection and that one day she would live again here on the Earth, yet it still pains those of us alive at her umtimely death. We all look forward to the fulfillment of the scripture at John 5:28, 29 which reads: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out." What a grand time that will be when we welcome Susan back to the possibility of everlasting life right here on Earth! Ty & Carolyn Wallace

To Susan's husband and daughter...I extend my deepest sympathy and pray that you both find comfort in the fact that Susan lived a happy and fulfilled life. She was one of my students at Lincoln Middle School in Gainesville. I saw her a few years ago at a reunion and was delighted that she still had that wonderful sense of humor and demonstrated such a concern for others. She will be deeply missed, but I believe that she is in the arms of God now and what better place to rest! Peace be with you both.

Immediately, when I saw the picture in the G.R.Press, I said, "oh, I know her, well, not really, but was always to pleasantly interact with her at the checkout at WalMart. I am so shocked and saddened by her sudden death. Once, a fella was checking out next to me who had on a Florida pin, her smile broadly brightened, saying that's her state!! I do remember. Now wish of course we could've talked more...what a sweet countenance. Sending condolences to the family.

I meet Susan more than 25 years ago when she came NY with Kirsten, for my sisters wedding. She was so much fun and full of life. I have thought of her many times since then. It is awesome that she did so much so others could learn about Jehovah. We will all be looking forward to welcoming her back from her time asleep. May Jehovah give you the strength to continue on. Much love, your sister(Albion NY congregation) ,Margie Beecher

Dear LeGrand and Deborah, I was saddened to learn of Susan's death. Her zest for life will be greatly missed! She had a way of making the mundane "enjoyable". I am glad I had a chance to know her. I am so sorry for your loss.

To our dear friends Legrand and Debbie, for the past 20 years it has been our privelige to know and love Susan. She touched our hearts with her hugs and constant smile. We along with so many have shed countless tears and know that our loving father Jehovah will carry her faithful live in his memory and soon we will see her bright eyes and hear her loving laugh again. Our lives are so full because of our love for her and the love she has shown to us for all these years. Conventions will never be the same without her and CJ. Hebrews 6:10 is our comfort today. We send our love to you both and pray Jehovah will sustain you through this terrible time. Love to you both, Dan and Laurie

I was surprised to see this obituary in my local Northern Florida paper. Her life was certainly a grand example of someone who truly loved Jehovah. She filled the needs of her Deaf Brothers and Sisters and made Jehovah's heart glad. After looking further on the website we found Dear Brother Wright was also used by Jehovah. We are looking forward to seeing both of them in Paradise.May Jehovah comfort both your families. 2 Corinthians 1:1,3&4 The Senter Family

I worked with Susan in the kichen at the hospital. Even though we haven't worked together in a few years it was just nice to know she was somewhere in the world brightening up somebodies day. She will be greatly missed! Every-time I see a dolphin, I think of her. Prayers go out for her and to her family.

Dearest Legrand and Debbie, I am so,so sorry to see that my dear friend Susan has passed away. I loved her dearly. I first remember meeting her when you lived on 66th st. here in So. Haven. I always went for a walk with my boys, and one day she was having a garage sale and I stopped by. We talked for quite a while and I bought a couple of wicker baskets. And when I would walk with my boys, if she was outside she would always wave or com up to me and we would talk. Then you moved so I lost touch, but then she started working at Walmart and in the kitchen at S.H. Comm. Hosp. We became reaquanted and I feel very good friends. I lost contact with her when she moved to G.R. She sent me her new e-mail address but I was never able to get in touch with her. I wrote many times but she never responded. I think of her often, but now my heart is deeply saddened to feel I will not se her or talk to her in this lifetime. I certainly hope that the two of you are OK and not injured. I am just sorry for the loss of such a beautiful spirit. Now, I will, as you, miss her forever. All my love and deepest sympathy, Christina (Chrissy) Till

Susan was truly a GEM that always sparkled with love and happiness. Her smile and hugs will always be cherished. She was very special to us and we all loved her so much. Her faith and love for Jh endeared us to her. She always went out of her way to help others. We were all privileged to know her. She will be greatly missed. Legrand and Debbie, the pain you are experiencing is truly felt by our loving Father, Jehovah. Our hearts are also aching with you. May Jehovah, the God of all comfort, (2 Cor. 1:3,4) give you the strength to endure this difficult time. Jehovah knows how to heal the deep painful spots you are feeling now. (Psalm 147:3) Very soon we will hug and love Susan again because Jehovah longs to reunite her with her dear family and all of us, her friends. In the meantime, though she is sleeping, Jehovah considers her as truly precious as one of His loyal ones. (Psalm 115:16) The resurrection of Susan will demonstrate in a very special way Jehovah’s love toward those who have faithfully served Him. Our love and prayers are with you and your family. We love you! David & Lilian Del Grande

I’m so hurtful at the dead of Susan. I don’t really know her so well but, by through a friend introduced me met her. Met her in NJ first time, A few years later, I’ve only met her a few times and quick smile at me. Jehovah’s head down and felt hurt at his heart to both Susan and Charles…. Jehovah will HOLY SPIRIT they will resurrect in the future of the new world system. All JW will look forward to paradise in the new world is beautiful….. For sure Charles will open eyes and a scream of joyful……. He will meet all of you and a lot of hugs and kisses to YOU. Number one of my favorite scripture is REVELATION 21:4 “Jehovah will wipe out every tear from Charles and Susan eyes". We send our LOVE to you both and pray JEHOVAH will bless them….

Dear Susan! I can see you standing up in the congregation, with Brother Wright, signing into his hands as he was both blind and deaf. What love! Susan, always so energetic and plucky. She had such a quick smile and enthusiasm to do whatever needed to be done. Such a zest for life! You've run your race well my sister. I hope to see you in Paradise.

We met Susan through a dear friend, Charlie Wright, who the Bloomsteins provided a home within their home. Susan was a happy, loving and giving person who not only professed but lived what she believed. We will miss the visits she and Charlie made to our home and the warm loving spirits they were. LeGrand our sympathy goes out to you and you family for the tremendous loss you have suffered. Bob and Renate Savage

Our hearts are saddened of the loss of Susan. She was a very dear sister, and a beautiful person inside and out, with her smile and lots of hugs for everyone. She was such a loving and caring person to all. She loved her family very much. We will miss her, but not for long, as we await the resurrection to see her once again. Our hearts go out to Debra and LaGrande for your truly great loss. May Jehovah give you the strength to endure such a difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We love you.

Susan was such a wonderful person. She was fun to work with and a fantastic friend to me and my mom. I remember her getting upset with me when I got a b in sign language class. but then she asked how she could help me bring it up. Susan and my mom often looked like they were up to no good when they got together laughing like they did something they shouldn't have. She had a wonderful smile and very big heart she will missed by many people.
