In the late stages of her life, she resided at Carriage Inn where she was loved and treated like family. The Bius family especially want to thank the residents and staff of Carriage Inn for the love and comfort she found there. Daniel and Tasha, cared for Susana as she declined from dementia like angels from the Lord helping their father Ben as her guardian. It is hard to watch a loved one decline, and our Lord provides us with the 8th Chapter of Romans assuring us that Our Lord has good for us no matter the circumstances. Caring for Susana in her decline has taught us all compassion, duty and Faith in Jesus Christ. What better legacy than to find Christ in life and in watching for a loved one’s death with the Blessed Assurance that we will all be together again in the Peace of the Lord. Susana waited for and had Faith that her Lord and Savior would take her home. Susana is preceded in death by her parents, brother Horacio Felipe De Cola and sister Marta Micaela De Cola, and husbands Roberto Blackwood and Tom Bius.
