Susan's Funeral

Today the Grovers and Cummings and so many friends celebrate Susan's life. Her funeral is today in Texas. All of us who weren't able to make it to Texas will be celebrating here. We love Susan and her family so very much!

Susan's obituary:
"We are deeply saddened to report that our sister, daughter, wife, mother and friend, Susan Lynne Cummings Grover passed away today, Saturday, November 1, 2008 at approximately 1:00 am. Following a valiant seven year battle with breast, lung and finally brain cancer, Susan passed away peacefully at her home with her husband Doug and her siblings at her side.

Susan was 38 years old. She is survived by Doug, and their three daughters Sierra (9), Emily (7) and Rachel (3). Susan earned bachelor and master’s degrees in education at Brigham Young University and worked as an elementary school teacher prior to working as a full time mother and homemaker.

Most that knew Susan well will always remember her as fiercely loyal and incredibly diligent. She was beloved by all who knew her and was a friend to countless individuals. To her family, Susan always did and will forever represent the ideal Christ-like woman. She was unwavering in her commitment to keeping the commandments and living a pure and righteous life. She profoundly loved her daughters and husband. Susan never failed in her love and support for her brothers and sisters.

At this moment of devastating sadness, we hope to honor Susan for a life of near-perfect goodness. We hope to replicate her deeds, words and actions in our own lives and in our own individual walk with Christ.
