To the Family:

I worked with Susan for several years during my time at Wando. She really helped me in so many ways, not the least of which was to keep up morale! Much of my successes were directly attributed to her many kindnesses and unstinting help. My greatest sympathies for your loss.

Your mom was one of the most special people I have ever met, and I think everyone who met her felt special having known her. I will miss her greatly.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. It was such a priviledge to have known Susan through Delta Kappa Gamma, an educators society. She shared our photo adventures at the DKG convention in Chicago by celebrating in Summerville at an afternoon tea with friends. She and her sense of humor will be missed. Kathryn M. Fritz Ed.D, DKG VP

Your mom and I first met in Library Club when we were students at James Island High. Later we both worked as librarians for Charleston County. Many years ago we used to go to meetings together, then head for the fabric shop to shop for fabric for quilting and sewing projects. Your mom was a kind and gentle person. I know you will miss her.
