I for one know Susan will be missed. She was always a smiling face when I went to Yokes. She was also a wonderful neighbor when we lived uptown. More recently, she always loved to see our little Gracie when we were at the store. She always asked such great questions and was genuinely interested in how we were doing. Susan was the epitome of what makes small towns great.
