All, I am sincerely saddened to hear this news. I knew Susan only earlier in life but remember her as a kind, intelligent person. You have all my best wishes. With kindest regards, Scott Killoh (son of Richard and Lucille Killoh)

I only met Susan a few times over several years...at the Final Four Basketball series. She was, however, always gracious, kind and always friendly to me, the mother of one of her compatriots. The year that we went to Boston I had the pleasure of being invited to her house. She was so proud (and rightfully so) of what she had built there. What a lovely space....speaking volumes about the soul of Susan. My sorrow extends to her family. May God bless you in this sad time. Liz Galie

I'm so terribly sorry to hear this news. I was a classmate of Susan's at Notre Dame Academy. She was such a kind & intelligent woman -- a model student in both spirit and intellect. She will be missed. May God be with her.

Susan came into our life in 1997 and helped to nurture our business for many years with her expertise and caring. While I am quite sad and shocked to hear of her passing, I am uplifted by her happy spirit, laughter and eagerness to be of service. God Bless Susan and her caring family.

Dear Anne and Bennett, When I think of Susan, the first thing that comes to my mind is that of watching her take her first steps and the excitement felt by you both and Norah and Warren. Susan was a beautiful baby who became a polished and successful women. Your loss is unimaginable to most. I hope that her wonderful memories will give you the strengh to move along the difficult path ahead. I am so sorry. Carol

I started hiking with Susan in 2005 when she suggested we ski Tuckermans Ravine in May. Then she helped me finish the 4K's of New Hampshire while she began the collection of high peaks. We hiked the Osceolas, the Tripyramis, Field and Willey (in the pouring rain), Cabot and Wauback together. That is more elevation than Mt. Everest. Then finally Owl's Head where she presented me with a cupcake for my efforts. How she managed to smuggle a cupcake without squishing it, I'll never know. But she was always so thoughtful. Every time we touched the sky, she would remark breathlessly "This is incredible!" We also became skiing buddies at Mt. Cannon using the two-for-one tickets on Tuesdays. We always got coffee at Exit 14 on 93 in the AM and stopped for a beer at the Common Man in Ashland on the way home. We shared many laughs in the Volvo on the way up to the Whites. Susan was full of compliments for everyone and for me. She made me feel good about myself. I'll never forget that gift she had. I will always think of her when I'm in the mountains. I will surely miss her and keep expecting her to be right behind me to catch the view.

Susan, You are a wonderful friend. Many wonderful joys in my life originated with you as my friend. You inspired me to be an engineer with your abilities for science and the many hours we studied together. You indulged me in my love of talking about horses! No one other than maybe the horse himself could talk with me about horses so much! You introduced me to my husband! I loved being your friend. May you find your place among the stars. I will think of you as I look for Alpha Centauri, the brighest star of clever and kind Chiron the Centaur who trots along the Milky Way. Your friend, Tricia

Susan you are missed in every area of our lives. It gives us great comfort to know we will see you again. You are still a JOY to us as we remember the wonderful memories. Manny hit his 500th home run! Love, Mum and Dad

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, I am so sorry for your loss. I was a classmate of Susan's at NDA. She was the first person I met there. I was so nervous. The teacher had us sit alphabetically in our homeroom. I was seated right next to Susan. She was so kind to me. She said hello and we talked quietly. I had never met another Susan before. I remember telling her that and we laughed. My first weeks at school were much easier because I had Susan to talk to in homeroom. She was always kind to me and easy to talk to. We will keep you and Susan in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Anne and Ben, I just learned of your daughter's passing in the NDA newsletter and wanted to tell you how very sorry we are. Looking at the photos gave me a sense of how special she must have been to everyone in her life. I hope those happy memories will help ease your loss. With deepest sympathy, Pat(class of'65)& Mike Henderson

Dear Susan, It's your birthday. I don't think you'll ever know how much I miss you. it all still feels like just yesterday, even though it's been a couple of months... watching the Red Sox isn't the same, knowing you're not here cheering them on too. I miss the times we had together, the late night talks, going out on Friday nights, "god-in-the-box", the laughs, the e-mails and hilarious websites, giving me a place to stay when I needed it, your friendship and love, and sock monkey misses his job "working security." most of all, I appreciate all the time you spent helping me with all my paper work, going to appointments, social workers and doctors visits with me and for finding me a place to live. I will be forever grateful to you. Rest in peace, Susan. Love always, your "crytal"

I was a class mate of Susan's at Notre Dame Academy. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. May the wonderful memories you shared as a family bring you comfort at this difficult time. Blessings to you all.

To Susans Family and Friends, I went to high school with Susan and also went to a college close to hers. She was a good friend to have. She very kind and witty. Please know she will be in my prayers.

Dear Anne and Family, I have fond memories of 'little' Susan visiting her grandparents Warren and Norah. I especially remember hearing her sweet, small voice calling from the crib upstairs in that huge bedroom at their house. They were so vey proud of her. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. May all the wonderful memories of her bring you some comfort. My prayers are with you.

I only knew you for a short while, but even then, you touched my heart and became a good friend. I will miss the most our horsey talks we had and your complete understanding you had of them. You are one of those very special people that if we are lucky enough, will enter our lives. May you forever ride on the wings of your horse.

We will miss Susan. She was a wonderful neighbor. We will miss her enthuiasm for the Red Sox and skiing. Although she was quiet and reserved she was an important member of the "Tenney Street" gang. We send our deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Susan, it's unbelievable to me that we only knew each other for only a couple of years, given the number of memorable moments that we shared. Your infectious love of the outdoors will forever be with me. I'm going to miss your candor, your witty emails, the invaluable professional advice and the probing questions, and of course, your fascination with using a zip lock bag to hold boiling hot oatmeal. Thank you for allowing me into your life. You will be dearly missed. -Randy

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. She was a beautiful girl in all ways. Paula

Susan's greatest gift to me and to many others was the social spirit and sense of humor she brought to every situation. She was someone I always looked forward to seeing at any gathering because I knew she would enhance it with a one-liner and a sly smile, or with a great conversation (usually about the Sox, of course...) She provided me with many striking memories and insights in the brief time I was fortunate to have known her. I will indeed miss Susan's presence at future events, but I know her spirit will always be there in our shared memories and laughter.

I am deeply saddened that Susan is no longer with us. I met Susan back in 2005 and was immediately impressed with her intelligence, soft manner of speaking and kindness. But the most memorable event happened during the Winter 06 skiing trip to Bretton Woods Susan put together. After about 3 hours drive, I realized that I had forgotten my ski pants and mittens and couldn't enjoy any of the outdoor activities that were planned. Most thoughtfully, Susan brought two pairs of ski pants and gloves (just in case). To my delight and gratitude, she lent them to me, preventing me from freezing in the bitter February cold. It is that thoughtfullness and kindness that I remember about Susan the most. She touched my heart and the hearts of so many people around her and will be truly missed.
