I am so deeply saddened by the news of Susan’s passing. We had so many wonderful experiences together as teenagers, and I always thought the world of her. We sat together in chorus for several years, and spent so much time together over the years.
I know she loved her family and Rick so very much, and she will be greatly missed. Please know that you are all in my thought and prayers at this very sad time.

I treasure the memories of the times that Mary Grace and I spent with Susan and Rick. Rock concerts, evenings out, evenings in, weekends at Keuka Lake and many other adventures. Days with them were days of fun and enjoying life. I know that Mary Grace and many others are welcoming Susan to a place I’m sure is beautiful. We will keep her memory alive both in our hearts and in carrying on as she would want us too. We love you Susan, we will meet again. Condolences to all family and friends.
I’m deeply saddened by Susan’s passing. Her smile was like a beacon, pulling you closer. Even when pensive or deep in thought, as soon as she made eye contact, her face lit up with her contagious smile! My thoughts and prayers go out to Susan’s family and loved ones.
She will be missed because she was so well loved. Heartfelt condolences to you and your family at this difficult time.
