Susan and I were roommates one Winter on Sullivan's Island, SC in 1976. She was a very sweet young woman, always serene. When she became pregnant with Joshua, she was thrilled. Unfortunately, we lost contact when we all left our winter rental. Our condolences to her family and friends.

Memories made with Susie are forever lasting. She had a joy that was unstoppable and she shared her love of life with everyone. She has left us with a roadmap for living life at its best by embracing love and laughter. I will always treasure my friendship with her.
