Susie will be forever remembered as "sunshine."
She brought her natural enthusiasm to everything
she acccomplished. Our world needs more human beings like Susie.
With a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes, she always made
her numerous" villages" feel right "at home!"
Always with love,

Mrs. Cook was my third grade teacher, I´m now finishing up college, and I am so deeply saddened by this news. She was such a wonderful teacher and I will never forget how she instilled in me a love of learning, imagination, and play. Whenever we would go on field trips she would encourage us to sing on the bus, and that was always my favorite thing. Songs like "On Top of Spaghetti" (a parody of on top of old Smokey) "The Telephone Song" and "Second Story Window". She was a wonderful teacher and had a major impact on mine and many of my classmates´ lives. She is and will be dearly missed.

To Rabbi Cook and Susie's family: I will always remember Susie with great fondness. She was such a happy spirit! At Graland, she always made Harvey and I, and Natalie, feel welcome and loved in a very special way. She went out of her way to step over to us and say hello every time we came for an event or a visit. She was a bright, sparkling light to the children at school. To me, as a mom who was sometimes stressed because I was always running late to everything, she was the friendliest, most reassuring presence! We will all miss her. Sending love, Sue Allon.

To Rabbi Cook and the entire family: Susie was one of the kindest people I've ever known. Being welcomed into her circle so many years ago through my wife and in-laws always felt so easy and natural. May your memories of her be a comfort in what must be a terribly difficult time. Sending love from Florida,
David and Amy Lasko

Julian and Family, Jean and I are deeply saddened to learn of the death of your beloved wife, Susie...whom we all loved as well. The two of you were incredible "execs" of NAORRR, and it was our privilege and honor to have worked with you and Susie, and been the beneficiaries of her remarkable talent, ability, and love.

As a fellow teacher at Hillel Day School in Michigan, I will always remember Susie's joie de vivre! Her students were enthusiastic about learning and she made learning fun! She and her students created a model of a cave in a room at the end of the hall. Other classes were invited to explore it - with flashlights in hand. It was a huge success! Susie brought sunshine and excitement to learning. We always looked forward to receiving the humorous and heart warming New Year's Card. Wishing you good health and long life, Shelley Goldberg

Susie and I worked at Hillel Day School in Michigan, and then reconnected in Denver at Graland Country Day School. She was a wonderful, warm, always smiling teacher who was eager to share her Jewish traditions with the students at Graland. I can still hear us practicing "Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel..." May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.
