Dear Tony and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Susan's passing.
(I worked with you and Susan on the Paint Your Heart Out barbeque for Tampa Electric for 10 years.) Susan was always so much fun and was one of the happiest people I knew. I have read the comments on the guest book and they all have the same thread running through them - she was a dear friend, co-worker and family member and her smile was legendary. May God bless you and yours...

Dear Anthony,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you, the children and all of the family for your loss.
I had the pleasure of working with Susan when I worked in Tampa Electric’s Credit Department with her a number of years ago. There was never a day that she did not have that beautiful smile on her face, especially when she spoke of you and the kids.
Her caring ways as a friend and co-worker will always be remembered and treasured.
May God bless you and give you strength to endure this difficult time and peace and comfort knowing that Susan touched so many us in such a special way.

Dear Ashley,Anthony and family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Susan's passing...
Cassandra called last night from California and told me this this very sad news. I will always remember Susan's very warm smile. The kind smile that makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. I do not remember her saying an unkind word about anyone... She always spoke lovingly of her you all. You, her family, were the center of her universe. She had such a huge capacity for love. I wish all of you God's peace and love during this difficult time.
