Earlier today

As a co-worker at Harkins Builders, Susan took her responsibilities to heart and was always there to assist anyone who needed her. She enjoyed the interaction, particularly with those in the accounting and HR departments. She was never one to pass on a group lunch and she also enjoyed the annual departments´ Crab Feast (holding the record for the most crabs consumed)!

As a dear friend, Bob and I loved and admired "Mamasan´s" sense of humor and her kindness. She never forgot our birthdays and would often call to check on us, especially after her retirement. She will always be in our hearts.

Yesterday

Ms. Susan was one of the nicest persons I have ever known.
When I started at Harkins in the acct dept she was always there to help.
We always said she had more energy than any of us that was young then her.
we were sorry when she retired and she will always have a place in our hearts.
