To Dale and family from the Adams family (sisters in Christ). The experience is great and rewarding when you have loved and been loved. Your mom was a breath of fresh air in a very stale room. Her ingenuity and creativity countered all the status quo and made all our lives shine with promise. May your memories sustain you through these difficult times and you seek the holy spirit as your comforter. We will always love you with her spirit forever etched on our hearts. Alean Adams and...

I am so very sorry about the absence of a grand dame. Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of knowing her even though I joined Edinboro's faculty in 1988. It appears as though her life was well lived, and for her friends, family, and others who "knew" through her art have experienced a great loss.

Susan has really been a guiding light throughout my career as an artist with Disney. She was the first person I ever met who wasn't someone who worked as an artist for pay- she simply ate and breathed art and "was" an actual painter in all facets of her being.

I knew Susan since we were both faculty members at EUP. She and I had many stimulating conversations. She was a very interesting lady. Jim LoPresto, Dept. of Physics EUP.

To her grand and great grandchildren. What a wonderful lady to have as a grandmother. Creativity is the core of our human spirit, and no doubt what fed her soul for so many years. That, and of course the love of family and friends. I never knew my grandparents, and have missed that relationship all my life. As you celebrate her amazing life, to be sure, you will be counting your blessings. Her life was so inspiring, I felt compelled to comment. Rest in peace, you wonderful trailblazer!

Dale and Family, I considered Suzie to be one of my life's great influences and I loved spending time with her. She will be missed.

My sympathy to Susan's family whom she loved very much. I remember her fondly as one feisty, highly creative woman who worked hard to establish herself as an artist and contributor to her teaching profession at Edinboro University. Susan has given her family and friends many good special memories in her relationships with them.

Rest in peace, Susan.

May you find comfort from God
