As a foster parent, Susan was a saint. This was the only way I knew her, but I'd bet she was incredible in everything she did. The world needs more people like her. My sincere sympathies go to her husband and the rest of her family and friends.

My sincere condolences to the Washko family for your loss. I remember the times the Washko family coming to visit us at Carlo's Pizza a few times a week for lunch, dinner or both. It was always so wonderful talking to them and such a wonderful person to open up her heart to the children... I am sure she will be sadly missed.
