Susan Ireland Shea

Suzie you are truly missed. I never thought in a million years our friendship would come to an end so abruptly. There isn´t a day that goes by that I don´t think of you. Thank you for all your guidance, love, and support that you poured into my family. I´ll never forget all the laughter and tears we shared. I´ll never forget you. You will always be in my heart. Till we meet again, with so much love from the Kassa family

Happy B day Susan

I´m so sorry to know Susie has left us. We were very close through high school and college. When she moved to CA we unfortunately lost touch. She had many good friends in Burlington and I-will always remember waterskiing and the wild parties at camp. We remember her fondly and always will.

Ebullience, serendipity, enthusiasm, irreverence, commitment, great love. Susie´s loss is a rent in the fabric of all of our communities. A world without Susie is a world with less vibrancy, compassion and, not the least, fun. No one who was there can forget Susie showing up to a City Council meeting in a chicken suit, or orchestrating a kayak balloon demonstration at the ferry landing. We had another plan for performance art in Sausalito that, sadly, did not come to pass. And I know...

She can´t be gone. She won´t be gone. Never. Ever. No one like her. I will hear her voice. Her laughter. I will quote her when I need to use a four letter word. I will kayak with her. And I will bring peaches to Sonja forever when it´s peach season. And I will see the moon and the stars and the planets. I will see her face there and there. And...

Oh, Suzie... I am in Kenya with a friend and read your remembrance. I am heartbroken. I kept passing your house and it was so quiet. You inspired us all with your passion, fiery spirit and compassion for all who who have been poorly treated, ignored or discriminated against. We must continue to fight for all you believed in.
