A Message of Thanks from Steve
NOTE: Mrs. Quayle authorized her own obituary 10 years ago. The only correction to it is her departure from the Eastern Star over a decade ago. For the record, Steve is not a member of any Masonic organization and never has been.
I want to express my Thanksgiving and gratitude to all my friends and brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus, who sent me your condolences; cards, e-mails and prayers during my mothers sickness and passing.
Suzy Q--My Mother was "one of a kind" to say the least and fought the Globalist's all her life. As I held her in my arms the last time, she was broken-hearted over what her beloved America had become at the hands of the Traitors in DC. She was brilliant and so far ahead of her time that most people could not understand what she was talking about let alone care.
She read over 100 publications monthly for over 50 years and clipped articles and hand dated the source on everyone--literally over 1 ton of articles were packaged up. It would take someone a life time to get through them all!
I realize that her generation was Brave, Lovely and God-fearing the reason why we had the country we had. They cared and were willing to pay the ultimate price for FREEDOM something the current generation is mostly unaware of.
My mother was witty and intense and never backed down when it came to speaking her mind. She was intimidating to many health care professionals as she read the Physicians Desk Reference and New England Medical Journal of Medicine for light reading. Suzy devoured alternative health info which was her passion.
During the last hour of her life My Beloved mother refused all further medications and tubes. She left not in passive surrender to her inevitable death but in a dignified manner. The timing of her death was the same month as her twin sister, Sally, who preceded her in death by nine years.
Like all treasured relationships, we don't see the depth of our friends and loved ones it seems, until it's too late. My children have an amazing woman to reflect on in their Grandmother as she stood against the evil of her ever changing world. I owe her so much and God is fabulously Wonderful in having given to me the Mother I have!
Blessings and Thanksgiving to all who encouraged and interceded for my family at this most difficult time!
Love -- "All Hail the power of Jesus name"!
Steve Quayle and Famiy!
