Dear Olin & Paku Family
What a fighter and one who carried strength. We would share and laugh all the time. A connection we had that was unbelievable. I met Mrs. Olin in April 2011. She trained me for two days to manage her position while she started chemo treatment. In those two days we connected and the bond never broke but got stronger. In August of 2011 I was honored to work with Sue daily until she couldn't return anymore. The seeds that she has planted is unbelievable and for years to come we will see flowers springing up and blossoming in the lives she touched. She always told me we were spiritually connected and Mark said we were "soul sisters" :) and I would say Mrs. "O" I love you girlfriend! They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength and mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and faint. Isaiah 40:11 I see you Mrs. "O" on His wing span running, walking, standing in His love, joy, peace, mercy, truth and strength. Family, the Lord will comfort and give peace to you all.
Love you all,
Renee Jemerson & Family

I was not aware of Susan's illness or her passing until Doug sent me this email about her passing. I offer you my most sincere sympathy and I understand a lot of what your family has been through since we just went through a similar situation with my wife Sharon Zabel. I have been going through "Good Grief" meetings with a counselor and other folks who have lost a loved one and they are helpful. Call me when you are ready and I can give you the details about who to talk to about this if you choose.

Sue and I worked together at Hall for may years. She loved working with the kids and was very good at it. I was soon to learn she didn't just care for the kids but all she came in contact with-I know I was honored to be one of those people.Rest in peace Sue.

I had the opportunity to work with Sue at Hall for many years as well as live across the street from her and her family. She was dedicated to the children at all the schools she worked and talked fondly of her summer work at Hope Wall. I know the students will miss her as well as her family and friends. My thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.

Dear Mark & Jenifer,
You both are in my prayers. Sue added so much to my life and the students she worked with. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten. I think of Sue when I hear this quote: "One hundred years from now, It will not matter what kind of car I drove, What kind of house I lived in, Or how much money I had in the bank, But the world may be a better place because I made a difference in a child's life." What a difference she truly has made.
Much Love~

My 7 year old was so sad when she heard about Mrs. Olin's passing. She told us how funny she was and how she would pretend to eat the kids' lunches when they brought something good. She told me, "Mom, she was so nice". She touched the lives of many children and they will remember her.
