Very sincere but belated condolences about Susan's passing. I just found out about it in October 2023. I loved IFS magazine and looked forward to each issue. Susan and staff did a wonderful job. May God bless her, her family and comfort all, including us fans of her work Sincerely, Theresa Cheney

I knew Susan from 1985 and was her boyfriend for 8 yrs until 2003. We spent many weekends at my lakeside cabin in the woods enjoying nature and fishing. We had a very special bond and she was a unique spirit. She was an freelance executive secretary in the legal community which provided her the opportunity to pursue her passion for photography and figure skating. Although we parted our lives journeys together I always missed her call of "Bratty" when she needed my attention. Susan may you fly through the heavens gliding and jumping like the figure skaters you loved. With the greatest love my dear.

So sorry to hear about Susan's passing. I enjoyed subscribing to IFS Magazine since 1997. I think I may have had the pleasure of meeting her @ a skating show back in 2010. May her memory be for a blessing.

So sorry to read about Susan's death. I met her at a conference some years ago about the media and women's sports, and shared a convivial lunch table with her and other journalists with figure skating backgrounds. A brief acquaintance, but an entertaining and memorable one.

I knew Susan as a mentor, colleague, and fellow figure skating fan. She was firm-handed but open with her advice, and never withheld her wisdom when she thought I needed guidance as a young photographer. Her praise was rare but always genuine, and I valued it all the more when she gave it. I´m very saddened to hear of her loss, and even more grateful that I had the chance to speak and work with her the last time we met at Skate Canada. I offer my deepest condolences to her friends and family. Thank you for all you´ve given to figure skating, Susan. Please have an easy trip home to Australia and rest peacefully.

I first met Susan in 2006 in Ottawa at the Canadian National Figure Skating Championships. We would reconnect at various competitions across Canada for years. I missed her posts about the World Championships in Japan and now I know why. Thanks from a Figure Skating fan. You will be missed. Until we meet again. Sincere condolences from Christine Love.
