Sue was an amazing women, she was a hoot to be around always could make you laugh. She was a wonderful Mom, but as a Mom we seem to ask to many question and get into our children's business, but that's because of the love we have, a deep love and until your child has a child and he or she grows up, you will not understand. She deeply loved her children and everyone else she new. Your family and friend's will truly miss you. Fly with the angels and Doug, you are home in God's hand's......

Stephanie, David and family, I am so sorry to hear about Sue. I just saw her last week and she was bragging on David (of course). She was so excited to hear that you were going back to college and just knew you would do something great with your degree. She was such and sweet and cool lady to me when I hung out with the family back in the day, and still continued to visit and hug me every time we ran in to each other. I am so sorry that you two are facing such heartache again. She was loved and will be missed.

Steph, David, Bob & Sandra prayers are with each of you. The Brakes have been a big and influential part of Slaton for many years and in many ways. Our love & prayers are with you.

I had the pleasure of meeting Sue at Stephanie and Wes's wedding two summers ago. Although, I only got to spend a few days with her, the one thing I remember the most about her is how caring and passionate she was about Stephanie and David. She was the type if woman and mother that would give the shirt off her back for her children and anyone else for that matter. I remember her being truly happy during that trip and I think she enjoyed every minute of it, including seeing her daughter get married to a wonderful husband like Wes. I wish I had gotten to know her more but I feel like I somewhat know her a lot since my friendship with Stephanie had grown so much. She obviously did an awesome job raising her children because it has shown thru Stephanie's charector and caring nature. Rest in Peace Sue and many prayers for your family and friends.
Kindest Regards, Cindy Wall

I went to high school and Westview Baptist Church with Sue. I introduced her to Doug. Sue and Sandra were like sisters to me. They gave me a ride to school my freshman year. (197I) I felt special hanging out with seniors.  Sue was such a great basketball player. She made great grades and was a beam of light. I came to Slaton in September and intended to meet her one day and catch up. I ran out of time and didn't get to see her. I know she is happy and pain free. In heaven with God and Doug. RIP my friend you were my hero.

I worked with Sue 3 short years but in that time i grew to love Sue she was so so caring and loving she was always there to help out whoever she could n her kids were always on her mind even if it meant she would stay broke if they needed her help she was there always worring about everyone she was Texas Tech's #1 fan always at the games n even getting ready at work to go support them you are going to be greatly missed Sue I love you and thank you for the great friendship go enjoy seeing Doug again because i know how you missed him dearly :**( <3

Ok I will be the first......Sue was not only a mom to Steph and David, she was an amazing loving mother to so many of us girls. She was not only a loving mom,friend,grandparent,aunt but an amazing caring paramedic. I learned so much from her. Heaven has gained an amazing beautiful angel. Momma Sue enjoy dancing with pappa Doug. RIP love you

My heart goes out to the Smallwood family who was there for me when my Mom passed on. May God ease their pain. Rest in peace Sue.

Stephanie and David, I'm so so sorry for the loss of your mom! She was always so sweet to me. She made time to stop and talk to me every time she saw me. The last time I talked with her she was bragging on her kids. She was so proud of you both. She was a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed!
