My heartfelt condolences to Jack and to Chase. I used to watch Chase at recess at the Waldorf School of the Rogue Valley, when he was just a little guy & I was the recess supervisor. I remember Susan's smile. She was a beautiful woman. I'm so very sorry to learn she is gone. I'm thankful for my life to have been touched by such a lovely human being.

Dear Jackie and Chase, It is so sad that at a time like this we cannot find anything in all of the words of our vocabulary to take away the sting of your loss. My heart goes out to you, my thoughts and prayers are with you, may God in his mercy help you through this time. Know that you have a large family of cousins here in Arkansas that are thinking of you and wishing you comfort at this time. Your Cousin, J. Louise Tullos, Conway, AR ( [email protected])

Dear Jack and Chase,
We send our prayers and love to you at this time of great loss. I have such great memories of Susan... her vitality, grace and sense of humor, her devotion as mother and wife, and her selfless acts of generosity and guidance in support of the students, staff and families of The Waldorf School of the Rogue Valley. She was a great support and inspiration to me and I know that she is greatly missed by many. Although it's been many years since we were together, I am lifted up by the memory of her beautiful smile and jovial laughter.

Love, Sherrill Rinehart, Michael Lessmeier, Eberley and Elena Wedlake

Dear Jack, Chase and Family,

It's with great sadness that I learn of Susan's passing. My heart goes out to you. How very blessed you all were to be in one another's lives, and how lucky those of us who shared even a short time. I know the incredible joy and deep love you share is enduring. It's always been inspiring!

As a co-worker and friend of Hank, Paul and Paul Jr., my deepest condolences on the loss all too soon of a daughter, sister and aunt.

Dear Paul,
Jean and I send our deepest sympathy to you and your family. You have to stop and think when you share these moments. After speaking with you, I called my brother to tell him I loved him.

The lose of a parent is expected, however, the lose of a brother or sister is much more penetrating.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Susan and I were friends in high school. In the yearbook, she was the bashful one, I was the not-so-shy one. We graduated and went our separate ways. Thirty-eight years later, we reconnected here in Western Mass. and had four wonderful, all too brief, visits filled with laughter and stories. I am deeply saddened to learn of her passing. My heartfelt condolences to Jack, Chase and the Freniere family. May her compassion, laughter, dedication and joy remain with us always.

We were very sorry to hear of Susan's passing on. We have so many happy memories of our families together, in Franklin and at the Cape. The whole family are in our thoughts and prayers, even though we are unable to attend from Florida.

Harry and I will always remember "chevy vin", actually the "chevre et vin" we shared with Jack and Susan when skiing in Europe. How we laughed! We are deeply saddened and our heartfelt condolences go out to Jack, Chase and all her family. What a great lady.

A great lady who put us up many times. We will never forget our trips to Ashland, Oregon. She and Jack were always wonderful, fun hosts.

We wish Jack, Chase and Susan's family the best for the future. Susan would want it that way.
