Today I received the obituary of Susan Claire Dodge Haralson from her daughter, Debra. It is sad when we lose each one and we keep our memories of them close.

Sue was a songleader for her junior and senior year in high school and consistently on the Honor Roll.
Remember her beautiful big blue eyes and those long eyelashes? She was sweet and such fun. A good friend.
