I met Susan 3 years ago during her son Mike's deployment to Iraq. I was the FRG group leader and Susan and Greg were two of my #1 supporters. She had the biggest heart, a contagious laugh and was always putting others over her. My deepest sympathies go out to the Mahler family. Again please know that we would be there for Susan's service if we could. May she rest in peace.

Sue was a very close friend and like a sister. We have many memories of raising our children together, going to the ocean,having get togethers. Good times playing pool, drinking together and just laughing. Brian and I will miss her so much -she was a great fun person. Our deepest love, thoughts and prayers for her, Greg, Michael, Noah, Jason, Lateisha and all of her family. We are so sorry for the loss. She will be in our memories forever.

Although I had recently seen Susie, my most vivid memories are from long ago. Her yelling at Mike and me to get out of the cherry tree before we killed ourselves, or to go to sleep after we had stayed up late to watch Benny Hill during a sleepover. But there were also the birthday parties and baked treats and popcorn while watching TV. She was someone that any person would be proud to call "Mom". My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in your time of loss.

I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of Susie. She was a very special person. She is now in a much better place, and will no longer be suffering. You have all been blessed with a beautiful guardian angel. Cherish the memories, and hold her deep within your hearts. She will remain by your sides until you meet again.

I knew Sue through the FRG. In the brief time I knew Sue I knew a woman who was a fierce fighter with a soft heart, a pitbull and a teddy bear, a true friend with a laugh I'll never forget. She was passionate and never hesitated to lend a helping hand. The love between Sue and Greg was obvious to everyone around them - they made such a great team. I am heartbroken to hear of her passing but thoughts of her will always make me smile. She was and will always be a true blessing on those who had the honor of knowing her. My deepest condolences to the Mahler family. You are in my prayers.
