I would like to wish Susan a happy birthday in Heaven. I often think of her and the time we worked together. She is truly missed.

Susan was not only a best friend and confidante, but 'chosen family', as she frequently reminded us. From my first day in Canada 20+ years ago, she welcomed me with open arms and never let me go. She referred to our 2 kids as her 'great nephew and niece', and she was always, 'Auntie Susan'. Over the years, we made so many wonderful memories together. Hours spent chatting in the screen porch, Easter egg hunts, Thanksgiving dinners, camping trips, days out, walks, our annual visit to the pumpkin farm, and our 'Great Northern Olympics' just this past summer, which she greatly enjoyed. We were so looking forward to spending more time together during her retirement, which was tragically cut short. We are devasted and all miss her terribly, but are eternally grateful for our friendship, the wonderful memories, and the time we were able to spend together before she left us, which just served as a reminder of her huge heart, tremendous strength and great sense of humour, even in her darkest hour. Rest peacefully, my friend. Love always 🤍

Susan was a wonderful colleague and a warm friend. She went above and beyond for her clients (including to continue to work a few years longer than she expected in order to finish off important cases). I am deeply saddened by the news of her death; it was too soon. It is comforting to know that, at the end, she passed peacefully.

I met Susan just a few short years ago, but from the very beginning, she welcomed me in her home with warmth and love. Every time Frank and I visited her, rain or shine, she would come outside to greet me with a bright smile and a heartfelt “Hello, my sweetheart.” She always took a genuine interest in my life, and though our time together was brief, in her final days, I truly got to witness and feel her pure heart and her love for life.
Susan, it was an honour to be by your side in those last days—to hold your hand, to share glimpses of our beautiful planet Earth one last time, and to kiss you goodbye. You may not have known this at the time, but you were teaching me profound lessons on love, forgiveness, and the preciousness of life. You reminded me that the troubles we experience here are just “a storm in a teacup.” And in those final days, you smiled and laughed, showing me what a courageous spirit is—something that will stay with me forever.
In your last hour, I felt angels and light surrounding you, guiding you home with loving, gentle grace. You were a gift to this world, Susan, and you will live on in all our hearts—always and in all ways.

I came to know Susan through the French River Horticultural Society. She was an active member who volunteered in many capacities. Shortly after losing her husband, I lost mine. She was a great support for me. I am lucky to be able to visit one of her pasque flowers when I work in my garden. Rest in peace, my friend!

We're so sorry for your loss.
Dave and I met Susan when we were looking at the property next to her and Benjamin, on this day we began our nearly 17 year friendship. I'm going to miss our chats at the fence, drinks on the deck and getting together for dinners. Her witty and loving character would light up any room she entered. She will truly be missed in our little neighborhood up north!

At this time of sadness, I want to remember many facets of Susan: smart, funny, knitter, lover of dogs, sailing with Benjamin on board their Mango Sun over Intracoastal waterways, a story teller, a person who enjoyed a good story and company, gardener, happy with quiet solitude, voracious reader, traveller with special fondness of Belize, polite, devoted to Benjamin, easy going, fearless swimmer. Tin and I miss her greatly.

Words can not express my sadness today. I met Sue through work and she became such a dear friend over the years. Her loss will be felt across many people and will leave a hole in our hearts . From sharing our losses of our fur babies to the joy of our gardens every summer she was always there to lend advice, love and kindness

Susan was a great support to me while going through a difficult time at work, I was hospitalized and off work for months, and Susan not only took my side, but she also asked people in the organization to pray for me and my recovery. I never forgot that, empathic, kind, and supportive were just a few of her many qualities. Susan, you are not gone, you just transcended, now out of the confining of your terrene body, your spirit is free and is present in everything you loved. Thank you for standing up for me when I could not stand on my own. Thank you for your prayers, I now pray for you in your final trip.
Et lux Perpetua luceat eis/let perpetual light shine upon you.
