Not sure what to say?

You left this world too soon - but left behind some great memories - rest well cousin - and thanks for those memories.......

I still remember the good times our families had together - but it now seems so long ago. However memories are memories. And still would like to contact Danny if he is still around........

I tried to contact Susan's brother - Dan - unsuccessfully. If anyone reading this knows how to contact him, please let me know - he is my last contact to Susan.

Time passes by too quick - it doesn't seem that long ago when we all shared family occasions and good times together. I like this photo of Susan & Leo; she so quiet and he made of steel. Both live on in the memory. R.I.P.

In 2011 Susan sent us this photo compilation of her and Mike's 25th anniversary. I like it because she looks happy in all the photos. Thinking of you cousin Susan and sincere wishes Mike. R.I.P. Susan.

First of all - our condolences to both Mike and Danny - even though the distance apart is great Susan had a big part in so many lives and the distance cannot diminish the sorrow felt.
Our families were extremely close when we were growing up and the many happy memories spent with the Toplikars. Agnes had to fill in a few times when my mother needed help to manage two growing kids as a widow. After I left home Mom and Agnes used to talk most every day, they were so close.

I remember when Susan and Leo and Agnes came to a Fourth of July picnic celebration with us. I was about five years old. That would make Susan about eleven. We had lots of food and fun for everyone. I do remember Susan coming around and talking to me. I could tell right away that she had a gentle soul ....as so many have already described her as having. Other than that, that's it. I could probably count on one hand how many times I saw her in my life. She was a very busy person attending...

I have not seen Susan in 50 years, but news of her death brought up vivid memories of this graceful, intelligent, gifted young woman who was a classmate at St. Teresa's Academy in Kansas City. Susan made a deep impression on me. There was a goodness about her, a sense of quiet strength. It hits hard to hear of her death from Parkinson's. But it gives me great joy to read about her life's work, her art and her teaching. Lucky were her students. My deepest condolences to her husband had...

Dear Mike & family -
Our heartfelt condolensces go out to you. We will keep Susan and you all in our prayers. Susan gave me peace of mind before my heart surgery when she shared what she went through with her surgeries years before. My mom, Della, loved getting Susan's cards and notes with her artwork on them. Take care and God bless you ❤
