I was blessed to work with the funny, vivacious Susie Cohn at the Mart. I admired her creativity and respected her as a writer. Although we haven't been in touch over the last few years, Susie made a lasting impression on my heart. I will say prayers for the family. We are all blessed to have known such a woman.

We are heartbroken to hear that Susie has passed. Gail and I remember her as a very special person with an outgoing personality, who grew up around our kids in the Lakeside community. Both Richard and Susanne are also very saddened and will be expressing their feeling separately. Our prayers are with your entire family during this time.
