Susan was a friend to many people and touched the lives of everyone she met. Our friendship has sustained since Elementary School. Susan’s friendship has never been questioned. It was quite obvious to everyone that met her that she had something about her that was steadfast and true. She loved everyone for who they were. She had a great sense of humor, she was extremely witty and incredibly sharp.
It will be all the little things that I will remember- The quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter and much more. Although it is hard right now, it will be all the little things that will help to push away my pain and bring the remembrance of her sweet, caring and loving heart. When I find myself missing her the most, it’s inside Our beautiful memories that I’ll hold her close.
We all have many happy memories of Susan, these we must hold dear to our hearts and cherish them, as she cherished each of us. I love Susan forever and a day! I will miss her dearly.
With Love To All,
Kim Freeman

Mark & family, I just learned this week that Susan is gone. I can’t wrap my head around it yet. I’m gone from Tampa but my youngest daughter moved back there,which is how I came to have knowledge about Susan. I don’t have the words to express my shock & sadness. I pray you & the boys are as well as can be expected, under the circumstances. Know that I send my love, prayers & wishes. So many incredibly fun & informative times on R20 in early 2000’s.
