I had Susan in school--for French and cheerleading. I can't remember her ever frowning--she was always so upbeat and a pleasure to be around.

Upon learning of Susan's great love of the outdoors makes me realize how vital it is to take in the beauty of God's creations at every opportunity which I try and do. When I sit atop the hills overlooking the Susquehanna River in York County in quiet, contemplative reflection and prayer I have been and will continue to think of you, and your family asking Him to comfort you throughout the coming days.
Prayerfully,
