This episode is deeply personal.

Today, I honor a woman who was more than a friend… she was family. My “mother dearest.” A safe place. A covering. A love that changed me.

Susan Detro went home to be with the Lord on Resurrection Sunday, and in this special Home for the Holidays finale, I reflect on her life, her love, her faith, and the legacy she leaves behind.

From her gift of playing hymns on the piano… to her love for K-pop and storytelling… to the way she opened her home and heart without hesitation… Susan lived a life that reflected God’s love in action.

This episode is for anyone who has ever loved deeply… and is learning to carry that love forward through grief.

We also take a moment to pray for her husband, Steve, her children, grandchildren, our church family, and the community who is grieving this loss.

If someone is on your heart… don’t wait. Say the words. Give the love. Show up while you still can.

Because love like this doesn’t end… it echoes.
