Susan was an inspiration to anyone who met her and mastered anything she found of interest from flying airplanes to gardening, sharing research on what really happened in the Bible, making dolls representing "gift bringer Santas" from various cultures and historical western figures, and, of course, her beautiful paintings of flowers, scenery, as well as historical events. What a talented and loving woman. We will miss you but enjoy our many memories that will live on and on. John was such a great and lucky guy!

Susan had a true servant's heart. She was a joy to be around, extremely talented in so many ways, yet never took herself too seriously. She is missed even as we celebrate her wonderful life.
