We will miss you!

Since the beginning, I feared this time would come. I am struggling for the correct words to say. Mother has left this life on earth to be with the Lord. We feel the Lord's presence, but we will have a tough battle ahead. Please pray for our family as we prepare a special ceremony for her.

You can take comfort that Mother was very peaceful. I want to extend the utmost thanks to all. I will post the funeral arrangements when we complete them.

May you not walk alone,

Keith

I know your family has been going through a difficult journey. I am very sorry for your loss. Sue was always so proud of her children and grandchildren. She loved every second she shared with them. Sue may no longer be with you but she has created many wonderful memories that will last in the hearts of her family. I want to thank the Tatum family for the blog. You did a wonderful job keeping people informed of her condition. I can only imagine how difficult it was to post updates on your mother. Please, know that many people prayed and thought of your family while you were enduring this difficult journey in your life. People are still praying and thinking of your family. Take pride in knowing how many people's lives your mother touched. May God Bless the TATUM family.

Proverbs 19:21 says 'Many are the plans in a man's heart, but the Lord's purpose prevails!' It's often hard to accept God's plan and purpose when it doesn't match our own. We just have to trust completely! Sue's family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers!

Keith, Kena, Kyle,

I wanted each of you to know how sorry I am about your dear sweet mother.She was such a wonderful mother & grandmother & will be missed dearly.

Please know, that all three of you are what you are today.. because, she was your mother.

She will continue to live inside each of you for ever.She will be looking down from heaven watching over each of you.

And, she will continue to be the "proud" mother she always has been.

We discussed angles the other Sunday in childrens' church...

My daughter Madison told me, that "she could not wait to go to heaven, be with GOD, & earn her wings! And, how special that it would be to be one of his angels.

When you think about it....how AWESOME that would be to become one of GOD's angels.

I know that your wonderful mother has now earned her wings .

May GOD continue to wrap each of you & your sweet "daddy" in his arms & grant you peace.

Love,
Missy Crawford Miller

During the past six months I have been thinking of all the chats and moments I shared with your Mother. Your mother could always bring a smile to my face when I was down. She and I always shared a laugh. I think that is what I will miss most about your Mother. She was always light hearted. It was hard to believe that she was 60 when she acted so young. She always shared her life with others. Now she is in heaven sharing her life with God. That is the only comfort I can take out of this horrific tragedy that robbed a mother, and wife from her family. I often think of the TATUM family. They are a close family, and will endure this dark journey. Its never easy to lose a loved one. It will get better in time but its always weighing on your mind. I love you Mrs. T and miss you very much. May God bless the Tatum Family.
