Frank and Kay: My profound sympathy for your loss. While it was too short, she clearly lived a rich, full life. I was blessed to have met her.

I have no words to say what a special person she was.
I knew her from her being the sparkplug who ignited the firestorm after the Ohio election fraud of 2004, culminating in the historic January 6, 2005, Joint Session of Congress.
Her passionate testimony in December, 2004, about irregularities and fraud in the Ohio election before the House Judiciary Committee Democrats, led by Congressman John Conyers, helped form the basis of the Conyers Report, which was the trigger for the Joint Session.
I participated and marched with her at the rallies on January 6, 2005, in Washington DC, and watched the Joint Session with her, on TV from Senator Barbara Boxer's office, Senator Boxer being the Senator whose solitary Senate vote forced the Joint Session to take place.
Without Susan, the movement would not have had the spirit and perseverance that it had.
Her courage, energy, devotion, warmth, spirit, and goodness are beyond my words to describe.
The world is a lesser place without her in it.
And she left it way too soon.
Here is a link to a December, 2004, congressional forum in Washington DC; Susan
is the young lady wearing the blue suit. She makes a statement at about 1 hr 15 minutes of the video.

Susan was the VIP of our class of 1975 and she continued her exceptional accomplishments . Intelligent, kind, smiling with happiness, accomplished musician and equestrian rider. Her priorities were her children first. She was always humble. Processed a great ability to express herself with her writing. She is a "one of a kind" and will be truly missed. Although her time was limited she lived a life so full. Your presence will be missed. Susan you will never be forgotten.. Never..

Susan was a devoted friend and such a treasured support during good times and bad. I felt better just by being in her presence. To Susan's children - please know, as I'm sure you do, how proud your mother was of you and how you were the light and loves of her life. To the rest of her family and dear friends, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of such a beautiful woman, inside and out.

Again, so rarely comes along that someone that if possible I would ask God to give my remaining years to.
This is one.

Dear Family of Susan,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I thank you for sharing Susan with the world, and for the love you gave her that she then shared with all of us.
Susan was (and will always be), for me, a childhood classmate who inspired kindness, excellence, and a willingness to engage fully in LIFE! She was fun. She was competitive. She was an enthusiastic performer in music and theatre. She was a supportive teammate. She was a scholar. She was passionate and encouraged those of us who were “underdogs” to be proud of ourselves, to recognize our equality, and to get on with the business of finding a way to contribute our talents to the whole.
When I ask myself how could Susan have had so much to offer life, I can only point to an unnameable, natural connection she appeared to have had with her Higher Self.
“All that exists comes out of This. All that exists returns to This. No-one owns This, yet everyone belongs to This.”
Susan was a real mensch, and I feel very fortunate to have known her!
