It is my belief that god places angels on this earth to teach the rest of us something. Susan was one of those angels. For anyone that came in contact with her, she taught us Love, Faith and Courage. The love that she had for her family, the faith in her lord and the courage to fight a long hard battle with cancer.
Susan's family will be in our thoughts and prayers. May god be with you in this time of sorrow.

When I visited with Susan last week, I could feel her strength. She spoke so peacefully that I knew her faith would carry her on. She had a sweetness that touched me each time I spoke with her, and I will always remember her with a smile.

Susan you are truly missed. I know you are at peace. When I talked to you on Friday were seeing how beautifull it was going to be as you climbed the mountain saying how pretty it was outside. No more pain. We miss you here at work.

I went to school with Susan and we were very close friends for many years. I have not seen Susan for too many years I am ashamed of. But my heart is broken today hearing of her passing. I know those angels in heaven are rejoicing at her arrival - but my heart is empty today. As usual, Susan will leave me with a final lesson...we need to get "unbusy" and let those we love know before the moment is gone.
