Susan always remembered a birthday! Those of family, friends and colleagues. Every birthday was acknowledged when I worked with her at PeaceHealth. My first year there, my birthday snuck up quickly after I arrived and she found out about it on the day. Somehow she manifested a card and small treat to celebrate the day. She had a way of making sure everyone was seen, heard and valued. Thank you for teaching me so much Susan and being an amazing role model! Happy Birthday wishes.

Today, on the third anniversary of Susan's passing, I wanted to take a look at this page and remember her. Yesterday, along with about 123 of my co-workers, I was laid off from Health Catalyst. It's been a weird day and a half and the feelings are very surreal. It feels like a dark time, but I had not experienced any deep emotions yet. But when I started to read Susan's notes that were shared among these memories, my feelings all boiled to the surface. I want her family to know that Susan's words are still touching and inspiring people! Her joyful, thoughtful, and beautiful words gave me the inspiration to see my situation for what it is, just another of those moments in life where we're presented with a turning point. It is up to us to decide which way to go and we often look back at these pivotal moments with gratitude that they happened when they did. So, for that gift, thank you Susan. You had this figured out. You've inspired me yet again.

Just this morning while walking my dog and contemplating the workplace and career development, I fell into a conversation with Susan in my mind. She asked me some excellent questions and gave great advice, as always! She will always be with us and continuing to share her beautiful spirit. I am so grateful and blessed to have known her. 💕

One of the rare pictures I have of Susan, and it confirms her love of hiking! We had an AST leadership retreat and spent a couple hours hiking and refreshing in nature.
