The rumor is true. There is a video of the Church service. It's on a memory stick - about 9GB long... Gale will have them in a week or so.

Yes, the rumor is true... There is a video of the church service. It's over 9GB long - so it's going to be distributed on memory sticks. Gale will have them in a week or so.

Dear Gus and family,

My father, Dick Rankin, shared the news of Susan's passing, and I am so saddened for all of you. As you may know, Susan was a dear friend of my mother's, who also passed away too soon. When Susan learned that I served on the staff at Cincinnati Opera, she made a point to seek me out at events and offer a hug, a smile, some warm conversation, and frequently, a special memory about my mom. Somehow she intuitively knew I was always thinking of and missing her, and she went out of her way to offer me comfort.

Susan had the most beautiful, tender, and funny spirit, and I was so fortunate to be on the receiving end of her kindness.

We are thinking of you all and wishing that you find peace and comfort in your special memories of her.

Fondly,

Joan Vann

Dear Gus, Kate and Greg,
Susan's beautiful smile and sparkle are what I remember most about her. What a delightful, high energy person she was and what a joy to be around. My love and empathy as you move forward in life with the essence of Susan in your hearts and such beautiful memories. She really lived life. Leslie and Diana also send their love. Joan

Dear Gus and family,
Words are lovely but in a situation such as this, I feel inept. Therefore I am sending hugs, love and prayers to you and yours.

Dear Gus, Greg and Kate, and all of Susan's dear friends, which I know there are many,
My thoughts are with you all at this very difficult time of Susan's untimely death. It will be a very long time if ever, that I will be able to accept the fact that Susan is no longer with us.
Susan was one of a kind, a gem to many people.
Our "Breakfast Group" will not be the same without her. We will continue to meet and share our fond memories of Susan.
Much love and hugs to you Gus, Greg and Kate.

Dear Gus and family,
Joan and I wish to express how deeply sorry we are for all of you. Having gone to high school with Suzi, she and I have shared many memories and class reunions. We shall all miss her and her bubbly personality. She was a great cheerleader!
