Susan was the greatest blessing of my life. While our marriage was brief, she remained ever in my heart. I send my most heartfelt condolences to her wonderful family. All whose lives she touched were blessed by her gentle, loving soul. She was an Angel.

I am wondering if this is the Susan Leep who lived in Whitesboro, New York in early 70's and attended Whitesboro Central High School. If so, she was a very dear friend of mine and I am truly saddened by her passing. I have many fond memories of our times together. If you could email me [email protected] if this is the Susan I suspect as our class was trying to locate her.
