Debbie, Sheila and Family, Please know my prayers go out to each and every one of you in the loss of such a beautiful Angel that has gone home to be with the Lord. There is no doubt Heaven became a little bit sweeter when she entered the Gates to meet our Master. I feel privileged to have met Susan through her journey on earth. There was alway's a special glow about her, even on her darkest day when her son passed. She knew who held her future and trusted the Lord. God Bless each one of you through your loss and I pray the Lord’s strength will comfort each and every one of you at this time. In Christ,

I am sorry to hear about Susan's passing. I met Susan in 2006 in Atlanta at the CMSR course. She had just started her career in physician recruitment and was taking in knowledge from the course like a sponge. With her constant thirst for information, she grew a new program to a polished department. As a ASPR board member, I want you to know that we will miss her involvement and support of our organization, her friendship, and her smile. She was a true gem! With our sympathy...

Although I only knew Susan for a year as a co-worker, she showed others that in the mist of everything going bad in her life- she had a gentle word, a gentle smile and also a lifted spirit. Susan will be greatly missed in this world; but is rejoice in His Home. Her battle was long; now she will live in the House of God. He has called her to His House. Good bye Susan. My prayers are with her family and friends that loved her so much.
