I have tried to contact Susan for many years now I just learn she passed away.
She was my american sister while I
live in her family as an exchange student in 1965.
All her family and her husband have my sympathy.
If Bill or Bob can contact me I would be glad to talk about her.

I went all through school in Tulsa with Susie and she was a wonderful, beautiful lady. I had no idea she was involved in so many activities. There were 5 girls who used to alway go to Susie's house for slumber parties and I will always remember those wonderful memories with Susie.

Susie is/was such a delight. She was not well but never let anyone know that. I will forever be grateful to her for lighting up the lives of Zachary and Eli. She was so wonderful playing games with them and taught them so many fun things. We always will smile when we think of her. I thank her for being in our lives.

Susan was a wonderfully gifted individual in so many ways. As a
fellow associate at The Stanford
Agency, I knew her as a thorough
professional and innovative leader.
As a friend, Susie was thoughtful and caring. Her unique combination of brilliant mind and loving heart
will be missed by everyone who knew her.
