Dear Mac,

I was saddened to hear of Susan's death. My wife and I were privileged to live next door to the two of you during the '80s. My prayer for you is that you will be comforted in His care for years to come. We loved Susan very much.

Dear Mac, Rhett, Jeremy, and Clay,

Mary Bruce and I are very sorry to learn of Susan's untimely death. I know we had not been in touch for many years, but until about 10 years ago my mother stayed in touch with Mary, and kept us posted on all your goings-on. And, of course, it was good seeing you, Mac, and Susan at the FHS class reunion four years ago.

Susan was a dear and generous friend for many years. When I first came to Washington in 1968, Susan was already there, and she showed me around the "big city," helped me find a part-time job to supplement my Navy pay (I later met Mary Bruce at that job), and introduced me to many memorable people.

I'll always remember her as the kind and beautiful person she was all her life. Please relay our sympathies to Nancy and Mary and their families.

Sincerely,
Wilton Corkern
Lusby, Maryland

I was so sorry to hear of Susan's passing. She was one of my very best friends in our high school years. I don't know her family, but my thoughts and prayers are certainly with them during this time.

I am saddened to read Susan's obituary. I have wonderful memories of her from junior high and high school, especially when I joined Rainbow Girls. She was pretty much my mentor. Her love for Christ Jesus was always evident. I was proud to be her friend.

To this day, I cannot mix cottage cheese with cherries and cherry juice without thinking of Susan. I learned that from her!

I offer my condolences to, and prayers for, her family and friends. May she rest in sweet peace.
