I worked with Susan at DELTAK for many years. I always considered her to be one of the classiest women I've ever met. She was a "port in the storm" on difficult days (talking to her always cheered me up or at least released a lot of work related stress). A beautiful woman who will be missed by many. My heart goes out to you.

Susan and I worked together for several years at NETG during some pretty tough transitional years. She was a wonderful and talented executive assistant who made everyone's job easier. She also was a joy to be around. I will remember her fondly especially her great laugh.

Although I had known Susan for a brief amount of time, the occasions when I did visit with her were quite memorable. She was very loving and was always willing to share her genuine hugs and words of kindness. I was so sad to hear of her loss, but I will keep her smile and her warm hugs in my memory. She will be missed by many.
