Happy Birthday my dearest Suzie. You were and are a Light among us. We will never forget your laugh, nor your kindness. Your gentle inspiration across the generations was vast and momentous. I am sure you are inspired by where you are now, and are taking in the sights and sounds of Heaven and beyond. You will always have a place in my hear and my soul, forever. Yours, Mer

I just learned of Susan's passing accidentally. I am shocked and so sad that at such a young age this beautiful soul has left this earth. I will always remember Susan's kindness, lovely music and her laughter. I took voice lessons with Susan and dog-sat sweet little Buttercup once when she went away. I send my condolences to her family. I have thought of her often and to learn of her passing just breaks my heart. What a lovely memory of her on Youtube ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwDgMVZmyHY. Fill the halls of Heaven with your beautiful music! So long ~ Till we meet again.

I googled Susan after running across an ad for The Legend of Aurora. She was a really special person. She gave so many children and adults the gift of music.

Just googled Susan's name because I am looking for a piano teacher for my daughter and this came up- I had no idea she died. I used to love seeing Susan play the harp, then she taught me piano and I loved her happy energy. She was so lovable and I am so sad to know that she is gone so young. I loved Susan!!

Susan,
One of your friends described you as Force For Good. How true that is. I'll never forget how we shared story time with Strega Nona. May your heart be light now and you will dance with the angels, my friend.

Susie...I am heartbroken...you were my wonderful high school friend...and connected me with my best college friend. Your joyous ways and infectious laughter brightened many youthful days. And you introduced me to the world of art in a way no other could. I'll always remember galavanting around Squirrel Hill in your convertible with our hair flying behind. You were a kind, generous and humble soul. I am so sorry we lost touch with each other for so many years. You were a very important part of my teenage years and a dear friend. You enriched my life in countless ways.

A week has passed and yet, it's still difficult to understand. You were so very ill, and for such a long time... we miss you. The children who loved you, your friends who knew and loved you, you are not replaceable. You are free now, free from the pain and lack that illness seems to require.
Love you,
Grace

A special friend and teacher of so many wonderful things about life and laughter and high tea at the Waldorf! I'm sure Suzie has everyone in heaven laughing, singing and playing the harp. We will miss you Suzie.
