Susan Anne Stone

A friend of mine and a fellow patient of Dr. Stone's were just talking about her the other day! Speaking graciously and heartfelt we miss her to this day! She was one of those Angels that walked among us and taken too soon! I hope her family has found Peace with the loss of their Angel! But I am sure Dr. Stone is STILL an Angel among us! She lived an amazing life I will forever be grateful for her kindness and hugs! Miss you Forever! Love always, Amy

Jim,
I was shocked to learn this morning of Susie's passing. My prayers are with you and your children.

Dear Jack and Kate,
I went to medical school with your Dad and was blessed to meet and work with your Mom when we were both in our last year of residency at UT Houston. She served as our Chief Resident and was so knowledgeable, yet so humble. Our paths crossed multiple times after that when we were both working to improve the lives of persons with mental illness who found themselves in the criminal justice system. Your Mother was brilliant, but she was also kind, compassionate, and was an...

My heartfelt condolences to the Stone-VanNorman Family. I will miss the occasional and pleasant professional interactions with Susan in Austin, but will definitely keep her wisdom with me forever....

I'm so glad I had the chance to work with Susan. She was one of my favorite colleagues. Years ago I asked Susan to speak in my son's seventh grade class because they had expressed interest in learning about mental illness. She agreed as a favor to me, I'm sure, but she told me that educating younger students was important to her to help erase the stigma related to mental illnesses. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family today and always.

I met Susan through the Hogg Foundation Mental Health Code update. She was calm, effective, well-spoken, and courageous. My heart goes out to Jim and his family. The world has lost a true leader in the fight to improve mental health.

Susan, was one of a kind. A dynamic, kind, intelligent, beautiful, caring soul, and a gifted musician. I worked with her in the mental health field and played music with her and Jim. Not only is her passing a loss for her family, friends and colleagues, but to the disenfranchised who benefited from her dedication in making her ideals reality. She touched many who did not even know her, or that it was her actions which changed their lives. And for those of us who did know her, the loss is...

We have watched over the years as Susan tackled missions many only talk about. To meet her was to admire her, but the more you knew Susan, the more she inspired awe -- how she accomplished so much with such kindness, grace, humor, and brilliance. Her incredible work with attorneys, clients, organizations, and systems will live on but it is not possible to comprehend how much she will be missed. Our prayers are with Jim, Kate, and Jack.
