SUSAN F. GALLAGHER

Dear Kevin, Janet, James, Michael, and Brian, Perhaps doubtful you all will remember me, but I lived across the street on Gainsborough road, and your mom gave met the great honor of being your babysitter on a few occasions. While I was younger than Kevin, both of us teens, perhaps she thought I could handle the job, as one (albeit youngest) of 10. The one night I remember most was new years eve and letting you stay up late to watch the ball drop. I remember each of you well - Janet being a...

I still see Susan with her bright light and loving heart. I remember the first time I met Susan. Her smile was so warm and sweet. I loved her immediately. To Susan's beloved children, grand children, sisters and brothers, you have an angel surrounding you every day. I lit a candle for Susan today after Mass at St. Mary's, Barnesville, MD. There we devote our prayers to Our Lady of Fatima. I love you Susan (my sister) and I miss you so much.

Dear Kevin,
I was your teacher when you were a little boy, first in school, and then at home. Your mother was a support to both you and me. We laughed together, and learned from each other.

Years have passed, and now you are a man. I'll never forget the energy your mother had, and her ability to deal with whatever life brought.

I was so saddened to hear of your sudden loss. Since I know Susan through Kevin, I am especially glad that your family has such a strong support network for him. I will miss Susan and my thoughts and prayers are with you as you deal with the sad situation of Susan's absence.

I have not seen Susan since 1991. I usually came to the house, starting in 1988 as a consultant to help with Kevin's goals. I needed to take maternity leave but Susan insisted that it was no problem to come to my apartment and watch my newborn while I worked with Kevin as long as I did the nursing and not her! Susan was extraordinary. She will always be in my memory as vibrant, bright, highly capable, motivated, humorous and an incredibly loving mother. Wishing her loving family the strength...

I am sorry for your loss.
