Bill
Still remember with fondness the way Susan made me feel whenever we had conversations about the FPOL and life in general. She had a most engaging personality and I think of her often. Take care.

Bill, Lyndsey, Lauren, and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss! Susan was a wonderful person and friend. I enjoyed working with her at UFF and the many lunches we shared both before and after her tenure. She adored her grands and loved spending time with her girls and family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Susan's passing. She was a warm and wonderful person. She was the one who called me to tell me I was selected to be one of the riders on the inaugural FPOL ride in 1997. She made my day and I never forgot that call and her kind words. My prayers are with you and your family. Take care.
