To the Evans and Rudd Families--I am so very sorry to hear of Susanne's passing and understand this must be a difficult time for you. I was fortunate to call Susanne a friend when we attended U.Va., and later a Soror when she pledged AKA there. She possessed a warm and caring spirit that, along with her smile, made her a pleasure to be around, always. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Susanne, it doesn't seem right that we won't spend the next 27 years sharing life stories about our families and having 'what's been going on with you' conversations. I will miss you. With a heavy heart, I say goodbye and rest well.
