Susan, although I had not been in contact with you in many, many years, I do remember what a beautiful, exciting, fun person you were in our flying days at Air Florida. I'm sure that probably didn't change over time....I wish you so many, many blessings and love on your new voyage......

To the Bechdel Family:
I'm very sorry to hear that Susan has passed away. Susan was such a big part of my life for so many years, decades actually. I have so many funny and truly fond memories of her in my heart. I will carry them with me forever.

I read of Susan's passing with great sadness. She was such a vivacious, beautiful, glowing girl. I was a flight attendant with her at Air Florida and we had such fun together. We also attended her wedding at Viscaya, some 20+ years ago. She will always be in my heart and in my thoughts. God Bless her loving family.
