Susan was a smart, well-trained, and highly respected cytotechnologist with whom I had the honor and pleasure to work with on the Hopkins Early Lung Cancer project. But most of all I remember the way she could lighten the mood with her smile, engaging manner, and sense of humor. I feel lucky to have known Susan.

Sue was such a smart, kind and funny woman. I so enjoyed the early morning chats we had at Hopkins. I will always remember that dynamite smile.
