Anne,
I was deeply saddened to hear of the death of your beloved twin sister, Susan. I have the fondest of memories of you both in school. I remember Susan as being kind, sweet and gentle. I read now how much she had to offer this world--a talented musician and a teacher-- may all the wonderful memories of Susan help you through these difficult times.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Susan played an important role in the life of my family, influencing my siblings during their elementary years and assisting me once I obtained a teaching position at Murray Lasaine. May your wonderful memories bring you comfort, joy, and peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Susan's passing. She was a very sweet person who always had a warm smile for everyone. I had the honor of teaching next door to Susan in the late 1970s. She was so kind to me, a novice teacher, when I first started at Murray-Lasaine Elementary. She was a gift to all the students she taught over the years. I will be praying for comfort for her dear sister, Anne, as well as other family members and friends.

Susan was a fantastic substitute worker in the Charleston County Public Library for years. I knew her from her work in the South Carolina Room. We never heard anything but high praise for her work from the public. Susan was the only substitute I knew who got letters of thanks and appreciation from patrons. Intelligent, professional, and capable,I always knew the dept. was in good hands when Susan was there. My thoughts and prayers to Anne.
