Not sure what to say?

Deepest sympathy to you, Susan's family, and her many friends. I loved Susan, too. And always wanted to go on one of her trips. Loved being in our Bridger Canyon gourmet club, Cork 'n Fork, with her. Last one was at our house and she enjoyed, even though in pain. She was a fantastic cook and enjoyed her new kitchen so much. What a wonderful life she had - and how brave she was facing her final battle. God Speed, dear Susan.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loved and deepest condolences are extended to you. Something that's helped me through the death of loved ones is to reflect on 1 Corinthians 15:26.

We are sorry to learn of the passing of Susan, but grateful for her service to our nation with the Peace Corps in Sierra Leone.

Our Condolences,

The National Peace Corps Association

You Susan and Adventure Women changed my life. Your friendship and adventures helped me to realize that I am a strong woman. And, that I could get out of a loveless marriage. That I could move FORWARD in MY life. Thank you so much for enriching my life and for being part of my journey. You are missed. Forever Happy Trails.........

Our condolences for your loss. May the God of all comfort, comfort you during this time of sadness. Reach out to others and care for them. It will help you to bear up and God will carry you the rest of the way. Acts 20:35; John 3:16 and Jeremiah 29:12-13.

I went on many AdventureWomen trips. I was lucky enough to meet her on a trip to Madagascar. It was a thrill, and I admired her spirit and love of wildlife and nature. She will be deeply missed. Rest easy Susan. Tight Hugs.

Although I didn't know Susan personally, I knew all about her trips and was planning to sign up for the Africa Gorilla trip when she sold the company. I was so excited to find that she lived in the Bozeman area, as I am from Montana and have many roots there. Her love of travel and empowering women through her trips was an inspiration to me and I want you to know that she changed my life by acknowledging that women can do be strong, courageous and adventurous too!

Her memory lives on...
