Not sure what to say?

I recently read that Sue had passed away. Over my 40 year career working as an Occupational Therapist i treasure my time working for Sue at OT Associates and have many pleasant memories of sitting with the management team led by Sue and strategizing best practices and program development. She was a great mentor and always very positive and inspiring. She did so much to promote the field of Occupational Therapy especially in California. She was a very special person and I´m very grateful to...

To the Harris Family,
I offer my deepest condolences to you for your loss. Sue was a friend and colleague since 1989. She gave me my first OT job in San Diego in 1989. Over the years. she and I always connected every 6 month to a year at one breakfast house or a wine bar somewhere. Her energy and wit were tireless. Her passion to continue to champion new approaches and ideas for her business never ended. What I admired most about Sue was how freely she shared her DELIGHT For...

I feel so grateful that Susan visited me one last time for a relaxing session at my spa. I had always known her to be such a powerful woman, full of wisdom and grit. To see her ill, broke my heart. But I feel incredibly thankful and fortunate that I got the opportunity to see her one last time before she moved on to the other side. Susan has left me with knowledge I wouldn't normally have. She gave me inspiration and a new way to see things. I remember her telling me how much she loved her...

I will miss seeing Susan in Sunday Yoga classes...she was always a smiling face.

Susan was such a fantastic person and a wonderful friend. We always looked forward to seeing her at AOTA conferences and sharing our experiences and difficulties in running Therapy practice / businesses. We loved having time together and will miss her wonderful smile and personality

Very saddened to learn of Sue's passing, my sincere condolences to her family and friends. Sue was a great leader and mentor in the profession of occupational therapy, and a strong supporter of her professional society, AOTA, and its advocacy work for OT and consumers. She will be greatly missed, and her professional legacy warmly remembered.

Susan was a gracious lady in good spirits every time I saw her over a six year period at The Execs lunches weekly. Her kind words and ever present smile made being around her a joy. Vicky and all of her large family will surely miss her greatly, but can take solace that she touched many people who will remember Susan fondly.

Dear Harris Family,
Thank you for sharing Sue with us all. Through a mutual friend, Sue became roommates with us at an AOTA conference. We had more fun and laughs than teenage girls at a pajama party. We were friends ever since and I will never forget her.
Fondly,
Pam Toto

Dear Harris family, I have fond memories of Mrs. Harris being so full of joy, and having such tremendous love for her family. May God hold all of you during this very tender time and strengthen you in the days ahead. My heart and prayers are with and for you. With care, Lisa Ecks
