Not sure what to say?

I worked for Susan as Alexis´s au pair after my second year of college at The University of Nebraska Omaha. She and David changed my life and set me on the path to a television career that has spanned 40+ years. She was a remarkable person. They were a remarkable couple. I´m so sad. I should have reached out sooner. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Susan for everything. I´m sure you´re in heaven whipping up a gourmet meal with all the most interesting people in attendance.

I am so sorry that Susan is gone. She was my first real girlfriend. In some old obscure culture, we were pinned in 1960. Her parents were wonderful to me and she had a lovely sister, Mary Jo. I last saw her in 2018 in Phoenix. It was our first Meeting since my college years. She was lovely as always. The world is poorer place with her gone! Sweet dreams!

Life is short. I watch David for years on the news. He was the best of the best. I did not know Mrs Brinkley

I was blessed enough to be able to spend a summer with Susan in Jackson Hole, Wyoming a few years ago now.
She was a special lady and touched my heart. She was like a Nana to me in the short time that I knew her. Never one to mince her words, she spoke her mind and her truth but always from the heart.
She was kind, generous and fair and left her energy with many in her time spent in this earth realm.
With luck I will meet her again in the next life and get to spend more time...
