Kim & Kristina

We are so, so sorry and shocked to hear about Susan. She was a very kind and caring person. She had many talents such as teaching people how to understand things so that they could understand. I know Susan will be missed and never out of the hearts of the people who loved her.

Karen Holmes Horton

I offer my deepest sympathy to Angela and the family. Susan was a great coworker and friend someone I enjoyed working with and yes, sometimes partying with dancing with and wants singing with can’t say we were that good my hope for you will be that you feel the comfort in knowing others share your sadness and truly care about you. We grieve with you during this time of loss.

I am in shock of hearing this news of Susan's passing I had just reached out to her a mo b th or so ago to say hello. My heart is saddened at the loss of such a kind soul. Susan was my manager for a few years but we also had a bond of friendship. She truly was a joyful funny person to be around. She surely will be missed. So sorry for your loss Angela. My prayers are with you and the family.

Kris Hopkins and Family

A part of me didn't want to read this, or see the comments that followed -- somehow that would make real what just can't possibly be.... Susan was so FULL of life -- how can she be gone? I can't remember her without remembering her smile and laugh, her sharp wit -- all inextricable. But she was so much more, too. Compassion, a desire and willingness to help others and really *be there* for those who needed her. Always done quietly, without fanfare, but it was deeply felt nonetheless. Heaven must have needed her, though, for that's surely where she is now. My deepest sympathy, Angela, to you and all the friends and relatives who are missing her now, those whose lives she touched.

Karen Schaab

Kathi Johnson

It was my good fortune to have known you. The years at “you guys” house on the Square in Marietta where I first met Kim Hagan are in a catalogue of books in my mind. I love you both and I’m heartbroken to know she has left the planet. Forever in our hearts.

Sherry Carter

This news is tough to take in. Susan was a very precious soul. A great friend that was so enjoyable to be around . Her laugh infectious and humor outstanding, they say intelligence has a lot to do with wit and she definitely had a sharp wit. Angie, I am sorrowful over hearing of this, I guess thats why I couldnt get in touch with her or you. I am so sorry you had to endure this great loss, there was so much love when you both were around. Peace to you my friend. I am a better person to have know Susan.

Heather Benge

Angie, This breaks my heart to see . I was the redheaded therapist that helped take care of Susan in the hospital. You two were so very sweet and kind and love just radiated throughout the room. I am so very sorry for your loss and I have been praying for you and your family daily. Give CoCo big hugs and treats from me as well.
