I am crying as I write this as I have lost a loving long-time friend with Susan. She loved life, God, environment, people, her family.
I'm so saddened to hear this very sad news. We lost a beautiful person.

I am so sorry to hear of Suzie's passing. My mom (Sue Lapinski) and I worked with her many, many years ago at Komensky's. She was always one who was the first to offer to help or offer a kind word.
Rest easy my friend.

Dear Dave:
I am so very sorry to hear about sweet Susan's passing. I did hear she was ill, but just saw the obituary in the paper.
With tears I am writing this. I met her at Trinity Church and felt her tenderness and kindness from day one.
She was very thoughtful and considerate (couldn't have been nicer.)
At times if I had a concern, etc. she would always listen to me and help me if she could...whether in person, by phone, etc.
She did solve some concerns for me...
The world lost a truly pure heart.
I am so sorry for your loss and do hope you are doing well yourself...
I am happy you have Squidg; and her and I often spoke of my cat Sammy also.
She will always have a special place in my heart.
May she be at peace in God's loving arms...
God Bless You.
