Today I was reminded of Susan's passing. Was it really 13 years ago? She is still alive in my heart & in my head. Susan was one of the sweetest, funniest & most honest people I have ever known. She brought sheer joy wherever she went. My Cousin Joe was so blessed to have married her! And we were so lucky to have her in the McManus Family!

Dear Cousin Joe, i can't tell you how saddened i am to learn of Susan's passing. She was a WONDERFUL human being. Her warm smile and grand sense of humor won the hearts of all who knew her. The years have flown by, and we lost touch, but loving memories have no expiration date!! They last forever! And I'll remember Susan forever. May the good Lord bring your family peace and comfort now and always.

Bill and I are so very sorry .......simply stated... When the world loses someone like Susan, I just have to tell myself that God only "lends" us the very special people for a short time.... they are here to set an example of how he wants us to live our lives.. then he calls them home to again be with him. My hope is that she will be there to greet us if we can earn the chance to be there!... Barbara Johnson
