ALL ACCESS sends condolences to LOVE AND THEFT member STEPHEN BARKER LILES and CURB/WORD ENTERTAINMENT Dir./Country A&R REBEKAH LILES on the loss of their mother, SUSIE BARKER LILES BURCHETT. She passed away on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5th following a nearly three-year-long battle with ALS.
A group of Country artists previously staged two "Shine For SUSIE" benefit concerts -- one each in NASHVILLE and CLARKSVILLE, TN -- to raise funds and awareness for ALS. They included CANAAN SMITH, FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE, TRENT TOMLINSON, DAN + SHAY, JERROD NIEMANN, CRAIG CAMPBELL, PARMALEE, LAUREN ALAINA, TYLER FARR, THE WARREN BROTHERS and more.
"The love from the Country music and ALS community has been overwhelmingly comforting to me and my family," said STEPHEN BARKER LILES. "We are so grateful for all artists that have donated their time at our events to help raise awareness for this devastating disease. Her memory will live on in all of our hearts and in our ALS charity forever."
"Lights that burn bright never burn out," said SMITH, who will be among the performers at her memorial service. "She made her mark on me through her unwavering faith in JESUS. I’ll always remember and cherish her kindness to me and my family. Her prayers will live on and not return void. God bless you, sweet SUSIE. Time to go dancing with the angels."
Services will be held on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11th at the First Baptist Church of CLARKSVILLE (499 MADISON ST., CLARKSVILLE, TN 37040). Visitation will be held that morning from 9-11a (CT), with the service following at 11a. A fellowship meal will begin after the service at 1p.
