I am so saddened to hear of Susan's passing. She was a very loving mother, I remember her sharing wonderful stories with me about her lovely daughters. She was also extremely smart, fun and interesting. May she rest in peace,

Susan was one of the few and rare people in this world that could touch a life permanently and for the better. She was always encouraging and open -- her stories were unbiased and honest. She made this world a better place.

Susan
A bright and beautiful woman who taught me a great deal at the beginning of my time in television.
She is forever imprinted in my mind at her desk in Philadelphia,many years ago, with a poster of President Kennedy and 5-year-old Caroline, displayed as inspiration.
She inspired me.

Susan, your spirit was generous to the end. You were a wonderful, caring friend whom I will miss forever.

My heart is sad for Hannah, Molly, Pope and all the family and friends whose lives she touched, but I am comforted that your goodness lives on in your children.

Be at peace, my friend.
