I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was always so kind to me when I went to Smart Health and Wellness about 9 years ago.

My deepest condolences to Jesse and family. I loved chatting with Susan at a variety of events in Bloomington and at the University of Illinois. Sad to miss celebrating her life with you as State Fair duties call. I am so sorry for your loss.

I had the pleasure of having Susan as my boss at GTE / Verizon. She was always willing to help, had great wit, funny and was a very "smart" lady. Enjoyed working for her. Saddened by her passing. Prayers to Jesse and her family. May she R.I.P.
