As the news came to our family last Monday night that my cancer had returned, I was in shock, numb, unable to process what it meant. My mind jumped from one negative thought to the next. What will this do to my family, how long will I live, what will I have to go through to fight this? Where is God?
It didn't take long for me to see the answer. God was in the friends who showed up at the house that night to be with us and pray with us. He was in the many phone calls of people calling to offer to do whatever we needed. He was able to get me in to see Dr Terry Horner, one of the best neurosurgeons in the city and a dear friend of ours from church. He was in the hearts of my good friends who have offered to bring in Thanksgiving dinner for the entire McCracken family. He was in the many pastors who came by to pray with us.
I know the road ahead is going to difficult but I can't imagine going through this with out the love and support of my family and friends and a strong faith. I'm counting on your prayers to support me when I don't have the strength to pray. I can't say I'm ready to accept God's will yet, it's too scary to think about. But I know this is a journey and I know God is walking beside me.

I am so sorry to hear about our ordeal. Please know that Aaron and I are praying for you and your family.

Stay strong and know you are are being lifted up in prayers.
Susie,
I was devasted to hear of the news. I don't think I have prayed as much for anyone as I have for you this week. This has certainly had an impact on my prayer life. Susie, you and your family are without a doubt in our prayers.
Hi beautiful friend....wishing I were 5 hrs. north so I could give you a big ol' hug! I'm keeping up with your story through Mary M. and Keari T. All of us here and Kylie and Megan at college are praying for you, Susie. I so wish this wasn't happening in your body...but I trust God and His perfect will for your life. I know he has you in the very palm of His hand, is surrounding you with the body of Christ and is giving you the peace that passes all understanding. I love you and am carrying you to the Father, Susie!
Oh how I desperately love you and your family! Please know that you in are in the thoughts and prayers of the Linvilles. May God grant you peace that surpasses all understanding. I love you Mama McCracken!
Susie, I talked to Molly on the phone Thursday and got the update. after we hung up, I just dropped everything and cried. a lot. I love you so much and it really grieves me to know that you have to endure this. I am truly 'crying out to God' for you, friend... in fact I'm screaming "no" at Him at times, because one of the many things I've learned from you is authenticity in my relationship w/Him. I am REALLY praying and asking others to pray too. HUGE HUG through this computer screen!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
Susie,
I am so glad to hear from you. I can't imagine everything you have gone through and are going through. You are a very STRONG women and I admire that in you. Your faith in God is unbelievable.
Steve, Sarah, Corby, Tyler and I are all praying for you and for your family. Prayers continue to be said from my prayer group at work as well as the hundreds of people in KS who remember you or have some kind of a connection.
I am here for you if you need anything.
Love,
Sally
I love you Susie. You're my hero. You're one of the strongest and wisest women I know. I want to help with whatever you need. I know you have friends who are closer but don't hesitate to call on me for anything. You mean more to me than I can truly express and I will pray, pray, pray for you.
Susie,
You and your entire family are so precious to us. I wish I had sweet words, or perfect answers, and I desperately wish that we were there to offer our love and support in person. But please know that the San Diego Horners are COVERING you and your entire family in prayers. We thank God with every remembrance of you and are trusting God to finish the great work that he has begun in your beautiful life. We are praying for complete healing...
Now to HIM who is able to do ABUNDANTLY more than all we could ask or imagine. To HIM be the glory....Eph. 3:20
With all our love and prayers,
Erin (Grant and the kids too)
