Susan always took the time to to speak to me about my work at Block
Communication. Her smile was always welcoming and she made you feel she was happy to see you again.
I am sorry for Allan as he seemed to be more at ease with Susan beside him. My prayers go out to the both of you.

Susan was truly one of the most unique souls I´ve ever known. She played a quiet but powerful role in my life-especially during times when giving up felt like the easier path. Her heart-first philanthropy, her passion for culinary arts, and her sharp business mind were remarkable, but it was her heart that truly set her apart. She had a way of making people feel seen, supported, and deeply cared for.

She fought a long and courageous battle with cancer. Just a few weeks ago, we spoke about a new treatment she was hopeful about. I can only imagine how tired her body must have been after so many years of fighting.

May she now find the peace she so deserves. Her light and legacy will live on in the hearts of those she touched-including mine.

Rest easy, sweet friend. You will never be forgotten.
