Susan McCain

Sue's smile could light up a room. She was always so positive and full of life. May her kind and beautiful spirit shine on through those who knew and loved her. My deepest condolences to her friends and family.

My dearest friend for 52 years. All the times together and the wonderful long letters we wrote each other when we lived far apart. I'll miss your honesty, integrity and your wonderful ability to help me see the humor in any and every situation, laughing until our faces hurt, and you'd keep going. You've been my confessor, my counselor and in the most meaningful sense of the word - my friend. So glad to know we'll meet again and that you can now know pure, unfettered joy.

Dear John, Kathy and family, As I recall the years you and Susan have been our neighbors, one of the things that has impressed me the most is your love of natural things. Living in harmony with our world was so important to Susan and continues to be with you, John. John, I can't imagine the pain of loss in your heart today. Losing a best friend, lover, and life partner is difficult to put into words. No one understands your loss but God. May He give comfort and peace in this most difficult time. May the love of friends and family carry you through these challenging days. Just want to say, I am here for you. Bring your coffee and come share with us anytime.

I met Susan when she and I both worked at the YWCA. I enjoyed our chats when we crossed paths in the hallways. A most pleasant person always. You will be missed dear lady. RIP

No matter what we were doing, we always had fun. I first met Susan when we were both at the YWCA and our friendship has grown since then. She was a very special lady and I am so saddened by her passing. WE can all find comfort by knowing she is no longer in pain. She will be missed by many.

I was one of Susan's yoga students several years ago, and I was very, very sorry to hear about her illness. My mother told me earlier this evening that she passed away, and it's difficult for me to wrap my head around somehow, though it shouldn't be surprising to me, I know. She was always patient and never pushed her students too hard, always emphasized relaxation and groundedness over achieving difficult poses for their own sake - she was how a teacher ought to be. She was a wonderful and kind teacher, and I'll miss her.

Susan, you started as our yoga teacher and soon became our friend. We feel honored to have known you. Sympathies to John & family. Namaste.

As Angels sang that day every sweet refrain of Amazing Grace, Heaven opened the gate and the children came when they saw her face. As happy as they were to see her coming, we will be just as sad to have to watch her go, but knowing what we know about heaven, believing that she's all the way home, knowing that she's in heaven is all we ever need to let her go. We could hope we could pray her back, but why would we do that when she's where life and love never ends, knowing what we know about heaven.... Every voice made a joyful sound, how sweet the sound as the saints rejoiced, but for every broken heart remember new life begins on streets of gold. For every tear that falls from our eyes we know the sun is shining now where she is...knowing what we know about heaven... You will be greatly missed, Susan. Thank you for all you have given. It is only temporary...

Susan, although I've known you only a few years, it breaks my heart of your passing. Your sense of humor, your kindness, will never be forgotten. You're at peace now, no more suffering. God Bless you...an bless your loved ones you left behind

A kind and gentle person we have lost. Susan's smile and laughter could fill a room, now it fills the heavens. I know when I now look at nature your beautiful spirit is part of that. I will miss you my friend, until we meet again.

We love you and are thankful for the years of blessings you bought to our lives.

I met SUSAN at a yoga class at UNOH. She was filling in for another teacher and we just clicked. She is the person who helped me find my yoga school to go to and get my yoga teacher certificate. She was to me a mentor and great friend. I truly believe she is one of the main reasons I have my love and passion for yoga. She inspired me to become a teacher without her I'm not sure I would have my business. She was one of those people that not only guided and taught you but would listen and take advice. When you find someone in your life who puts you on the path you should be on it is the greatest gift to ever receive. That was SUSAN for me. She will be forever remembered and I will still tell my students about the great woman who helped me be who I am today. Thank you SUSAN you will be forever missed.

I cried last evening when I read the sad news of Susan's passing yesterday. A good childhood friend of mine passed away from cancer in March. Susan sent me a message of condolence saying my friend was too young. She was two years older than Susan. Susan was also too young, but both of them were angels of God while here on Earth. I am missing them both. But I know God said they accomplished what He requested of them. Susan is loved and will always remain in our hearts. We miss you!

I have known Susan for several years. She was a very special person and she made a difference in the world. She will be missed. I am saddened beyond words with her passing. She was a remarkable woman who helped so many and was always positive and inspiring. The only good right now is that she is free from pain and is at peace. My sympathy is extended to all who knew and loved her.

Susan was a one of kind friend! We will miss your loving spirit of adventure and thoughtfulness. Rest in peace, my friend.
