I'm so sorry to hear about Susan's death. I lost touch with her around 13 years ago. She was such a kind soul.

Aunt Susie's compassion was endless and flowed warmly. Her love for animals was legendary, and spoke to her gentle affection for all creatures in need. She was always present for me, and I gained so much when I would turn to her for guidance in working through various stuck moments. One of her favorite phrases was "keep moving", and I know she might say that to me now.

Susie's final resting place......we spread her ashes in a wonderful place where life was in bloom and new life was in motion with nesting geese and life teeming in the pond close by.

"Susie" as I always knew her, was a wonderful and kind hearted soul. I am happy for the memories of her as my aunt....a warm positive influence on my life, and I am sure the lives of all who knew her. Her love for animals was immeasurable as well. You were loved Susie and will be forever missed.
