Good day

I was wondering if Susan ever worked on Captiva Island, from 1985 or 1986... what have been at Chadwick....

A song reminded me of Susan, and I found her here. I met her in the airport in San Diego when she was a flight attendant, and volunteered to help her load a trailer to move back to Virginia Beach from Utah on our first date. She was just supposed to buy me dinner. Instead, we drove across the country together with her son Grayson, who was 3 years old at the time, waking up either saying my name or "McDonald's" when he spotted the golden arches. She became my girlfriend for a precious while. I never knew a more beautiful woman in face, figure, and soul. Susan broke my heart twice. First, when she eventually broke it off. Second, when I saw that she had passed. Thank you for having been here, and for the memories. One stands out more than all others. A day spent at Sandbridge where Susan made a giant sand drawing with a stick. It seemed to take hours only to be lost to time and tide. Grayson, if you ever read this, you ruined Rudolph for me when you were a little guy. I don't know how many times we watched that over and over!

Susan was an amazing woman, She will live on in the Memories of her family and Many many friends that she touched throughout her life, I grew up with her in Charleston wood, and have known her for over 30 years. Her smile and personality would light up a room, as soon as she would enter it.

I am so saddened to hear of this loss. Susan and I were roommates and sorority sisters in college. We were in each others' weddings. I wish I had known about her battle so that I could have supported she and her family. I hope Grayson is okay

I was so sad to hear about Susan's passing. I remember at Green Run High School she always had a smile on her face! I hope her son finds some solace knowing his mother is with God now.

Susan will be dearly missed. We had such a great time growing up together in Charlestowne. I will never forget the days that she used to fill in on my paper route in jr high and high school so that I could go surfing. Lisa and I will miss the yearly Christmas cards with updates of her and Grayson's life. She is in God's hands now and will be looking down and protecting those of us whom she touched in her short time on Earth. We will miss you Susan but you will never be forgotten!!
