I am so saddened and shocked to hear of Susan's passing. I had just selected a special Christmas card for her when I got the news. Since her sister and my dear friend, Jane's passing, Susan was a link to our shared past, reminiscing about Jane, growing up in Northport, etc. As a writer of long, hand-written letters myself I appreciated her prowess at this fast becoming extinct art. Susan and I were both the eldest children of families with all girls and as her family's self-appointed historian she encouraged me to document my own family's history. We shared a love for art and creativity and we both majored in Studio Art. I enjoyed talking with her about gardening and the birds that visited our yards and the trials and tribulations of home ownership. She introduced me to the wonders of Pequa drain opener. She was such an intelligent, interesting and unique person yet she was down-to-earth and had a wonderful sense of humor. I always looked up to Susan who used her many God-given talents and creativity to the utmost. She will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathy to Anne, Beth and all of Susan's family and friends.
