I just went to the Internet to see if I could learn of Susan, and discovered she is no longer with us. SO very sad, she was SO very beautiful, charming, smart, funny and of strong faith -- even when life was hard. She showed so much strength. We both loved cats and I am so sorry she is gone....

Susan you were a wonderful person and I wish I had the chance one more time to say that to you, along with how much I enjoyed working with you. You made the boring interesting and you called it like it was. I miss you.
Rest in peace, my dear friend....

Our deepest condolences to Susan's family for her untimely death. It came as a shock to us, as it did and will do to countless others. Susan was a woman of great strength, talent, kindness, and generosity. Those who had the pleasure of working with Susan know she baked the most delicious cookies every holiday and shared them w/her coworkers, and had great joy in doing such. - - You're going to be greatly missed, Susan.

Susan was one of my best friends, and I was very sad to hear of her passing today. We worked together for a few years near the turn of the millennium, and I always found her to be professional and at the same time compassionate and caring about people. Her passing is a big loss for all she was in contact with.

I met Susan in the early 1990's when we worked at a start-up together. She was such a great part of the team, smart, fun, engaging, everyone loved her. She always had a smile on her face. I cannot believe she's passed. Every year she would send me a happy birthday note even if we hadn't been in touch recently. Truly a great woman.

I am shocked and saddened hearing about a woman who befriended me at my lowest time in life and stayed by my side through it all. If not for her, I wouldn't have made it. She was a dear, dear friend to me and I loved her for it. God bless your dear soul sweetie.
