What an amazing, brilliant and kindly woman and what a beautiful family she created. Her positivity, warmth, and love help mold some of the most wonderful human beings I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. The world is a better place because of Susan. That is a simple undeniable truth.

There are no words I can say to comfort or console and if there would I would gladly say them.

May her memory be a blessing and may we all learn from her positivity, her kindness and her never ending encouragement.

With love and my sincerest stuff condolences,

Steven Reisman and my loving family.
