I know I'm late on this, I didnt realize she was Marla Gibbs sister.

I want to use Betty Johnson's trademark exclamation for my own personal send-off for Susie Garrett:

OH MY LORD!

RIP SUSIE!

I'd go as far as to say she was the funniest cast member on Punky. She had the best one-liners!

I loved her one-liners. That woman never failed to make me laugh.

Wow, I had no idea she'd passed.

I do recall reading that she was Marla Gibbs' sister, years ago.

The thread was started in 2002 so it's not like it was posted yesterday.
