Keith and Danielle,
It took me a while to enter this site. I will miss Susan more than I can say. I wish I had known her better. She left an impression on my life. One night when we were gathered at a friends house for food, she noticed that I was in pain. She asked what it was and I told her that I had injured my knee and would have to have surgery. She said, "That will never do!" She got on her knees and prayed for me. My knee got better and I never had to have the surgery. I will never forget this act of kindness, as she had more pain than I could ever have and she took the time to care about me. I can hardly wait to see her again and laugh with her. God bless you both. Much love to you.

Kieth and Danielle,
We have never met, but I knew and loved Suz. We went to high school together and she was the best person anyone could ever know; but you already know that. Please know that you and Mr. and Mrs. Hauser will forever be in my prayers. Yvonne Egitto

It was my priveledge to work with Susan for the past 8 years. She was such a good listener and always made time for you no matter what. The high school will shine a little bit less brightly without her.

I only met Susan on a few occasions and enjoyed those conversations, having in common our Long Island roots and love of the ocean, but I feel I got to know her through my good friend, work colleague, and brother in Christ, Keith. Keith and Danielle, I know the Lord will provide the strength you'll need to get through the days to come. The inspiration through words, song, laughter and tears that was shared by your friends and families at the memorial service will keep the torch lit in her honor. We were all blessed in some way by your beautiful Susan, a woman of honor and substance. Be at peace / Psalm 29:11

Ever since I heard about Mrs. Alexander's end of her travels on this plane, I have talked to many people seeking comfort. Every person, with whom I have spoken, has had their life changed, as I have, by her words, exuberance, and energy. Many have said that she was the only reason they had finished school, or had earned their equivalency diploma. Others can honestly say that Mrs. Alexander's compassion helped in their personal lives. I can say she did both these for me, and also, that she gave me a different perspective on life.
Mrs. Alexander will never be forgotten!

Heard the sad news from friends on LI. I'll always remember Sue for her smile and laugh. Our thoughts go out to all the family.

I was so sorry to hear of Mrs. Alexander's going home. I was a student at Gananda-class of 94'. She influenced me greatly and I am sorry for the Gananda community. I am sure they will miss her. I remember great chats with her in her office.

I pray that God will strengthen her family during this time..may they hold close to Jesus.

Susan, Thank you! You were truly an inspiration. I will forever be in awe of your ability to communicate with students as well as adults. I will forever miss you.

The irony of life is that we don't stop to think about honoring it until it passes. I write today to honor the magnificence that was Susan Alexander. As a colleague of her's for six years, I saw first hand on a daily basis, her love for her students and the dignity and humility with which she did her job. She was a true lady in every sense of the word, a woman of faith, a wife , a mother and friend to so many. She was as graceful in dying as she was in living, she guided many, not only her student's throughout her life. And if by the end of our lives we have learned to behave in such a way, we can say to each other "well done". Susan I say to you "well done", we love you, will never forget you and God Speed.

We have known Susan and Keith as long as they have lived in Macedon. She was a great neighbor, and a great friend. She was a big help with information when our daughter was getting ready to go to college, and an even bigger help understanding the problems we had with another one of our sons. We will miss the social chats we had, the dog walking, the party memories, and your cheerful hello's every time we would walk by the house. You will be in our hearts forever.

I never met Susan personally, but as the sister of Renee Wright, who was Susan's personal friend, I was kept informed and Susan was in my prayers, all the way in Hawaii.

Our deepest sympathy to all of Susan's friends, family and loved ones. Susan's contributions to Gananda High School were tremendous. She was always there for her students. With her guidance she has left a lifelong impact on many. We were truly blessed to have known her. Sincerely, The Schumacher Family

Susan, my dear friend, I will never forget the walks that we had with our critters down Paddy Lane and the support you gave me when I needed it the most. You were truly a wonderful friend who I will never forget. I know God will give Keith and Danielle the strength to move forward as you would want them to.

I can still see Susan bouncing in to our Breast Cancer Group at Highland Hospital, full of love and hope for all the women. She lived so beautifully her faith. We will miss her presence among us so much. Please know we are praying for her family, that you will all experience God's arms around you giving the needed strength for each day ahead.
I am the Facilitator of the Group.

Susan will be greatly missed for all who knew her. She battled her cancer with such courage and determination to have more time with all of those whom she loved and cared for - especially Keith and Danielle. May we all find comfort, peace, and strength to endure this loss through Susan's Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She is safely in His kingdom now - healed and perfected in glory. Our prayers are with you, Keith and Danielle, and with your extended family, too.
With love,
Kyle, Lee, Katie and Mitch VanDenBerghe

Susan was a kind and wonderful person. We shared both tears and laughter. We met because of Cancer...for that reason I am lucky to be one of the breast cancer sisterhood. I feel so lucky to have shared some of the moments in Susan's life. I will forever remember her sense of humor and her smile. God bless.

June 14, 2007

To Susan's family: You are in our thoughts and prayers and we pray that The Lord gives you the grace to deal with this unimaginable loss. We are thankful that the best nurse in the world (Mary Annie) was there to help take care of Susan...what a blessing in the midst of such a tremendous loss.

Susan was a chemo mate and new friend in 2002. She gave me the most important advice -- be as agressive as you can be with your breast cancer. A year later at dinner one evening we talked about what we would like to do that we haven't done yet. She wanted own a horse, care for it and ride it daily. Someone gave her Susie shortly after that. Susan will always remain in my heart.

Susan was an amazing woman. She was always available to lend an ear, be a sounding board or give advice. Her personality, energy and presence brightened the room, you always knew she was there. I count myself as fortunate for having the opportunity to know and work with her. She will be missed, she will be remembered. Godspeed, Susan!

Susan,
We hold dear the friendships and memories that have touched our lives. You have touched mine and I will always remember you in my heart. May Keith and Danielle find peace in the memories and love you have left them with.
With Love My Dear Friend,

It was my privilege and joy to know Susan through professional contacts, and then through sharing two other important bonds: breast cancer experience, and most importantly, our faith in Christ. Indeed, Christ was the "Big C" in our lives. Susan and I knew that cancer was temporary, but Christ is eternal. She went to Him ahead of us, but we'll see her there. She was beautiful in EVERY WAY.
My sympathy to all of you. Sincerely, Roseanne W. Critchlow

I am so sorry about Susan's loss. She will be deeply missed. She always had so much to give to EVERYONE and always gave the best. I worked with her in Williamson (many years ago) and had kept contact with her. She left a very powerful impact on you, whenever she came in contact with you. I am very grateful to have had her in my life.
