Nita so sorry for your loss. I always loved talking to Ms. Susan because she always had funny stories to tell. When she was feeling good her smile would light up the room. I know she will be truly missed.

Worked with Ms. Susan at GOHSEP and she always made it a point to ask me how things were going with me and my family. My prayers are with her family at this time.
