Not sure what to say?

One year already... Time will never erase the kind wisdom prints she left on everyone's heart and mind.
And, quelle 'joie de vivre' she constantly expressed! Thank you, madame MacLear.
"LC", your blessed assistant who misses you a lot

I was the college friend who went to live in Paris with Susie right after graduation. Wish I had not lost contact with her. She was a special friend.

As Mrs. MacLear's personal assistant, I had the ultimate privilege and pleasure to discover her outstanding qualities. Her unconditional love for her family and friends is unsurpassed.

Susie was one of a kind. An old and dear friend whom I will miss greatly.

She was such a good friend to Isabel and Skip for so many years. I miss her support and advice as Skip and Isabel began to struggle with the challenges of aging.
