I worked with Susan many years ago as Juvenile Probation Officer. I adored her. I can still remember some of the jokes she cracked and her big giant smile and contagious laugh. She was beautiful and real through and through. Love and light to her family and friends.

I had the pleasure of working with Susan for a number of years. Besides being beautiful and smart, she was such a devoted and hard worker. I never saw Susan without a smile on, and an encouraging word for everyone. She was truly an inspiration. Rest in peace dear Susan...the stars are a lot brighter, now that you're in heaven.
