I never met her, but what a terrific person she must have been to have gotten such rave reviews

Dear Partick , Joan & family,
Wow I think back to 1992 when I was hired to work at Community Directions and as many others would say I met Susan because when I tripped over her chair her infectious laugh drew me to her. Many of those following days and years I looked forward to spending time with Susan to hear that infectious laugh again, to offer comfort, community opportunities. It has been years since I spoke to you, Susan 's family but I am so glad she was a part of our extended family at Community Directions. Patrick I remember one of our first contacts was your plight to get her to Boston to visit you. When it happened Susan and the C.D. were thrilled to be part of that experience. Joan there were many contacts in the beginning years, your advocacy for Susan and the importance of sharing your past history with Susan endeared all of us at CD to continue offering quality of time with her. I laugh a little when rightfully so you and I spoke regarding how could Mediplex ( at that time) loose all her gold toed socks- you purchased them for their comfort and identifiable ! Boy I would go around looking at peoples feet and telling Susan - get that person they have Gold Toes!. I send sympathy in your loss, smile at knowing Susan would find a way to get us to laugh and regret that all of at Community Directions did not see the notice so that we in person could say our good byes and see all of you , her family!! Please remember Life isn't abut waiting for the storm to pass, It's about learning to dance in the rain ! I can not tell you enough how much Susan has brought laugher and dance into my life and all of us at Community Directions!

I first met susan the day the lights went out at mediplex rehab hospital and she laughed like i've never heard another person laugh and when i went in her room and told her that i didnt do it she laughed even harder. what an infectious laugh. she became an important part of my life and my kids loved her( she even came to their birthday parties)the smile on her face when i put my 1 week old daughter in her bed was amazing. the kids used to jump on her bed and she would laugh and give me a look like are you crazy but at the same time i'm loving it.It is with mixed emotion my feelings when i was told she passed on sad that i would no longer hear her laugh and happy that she would now be free to run jump and see for the first time in years. I will miss her but i will remember the times we laughed and be happy knowing that she is no longer in pain and is running around and yes probably still laughing.
