Dear Myron, Jodi and Steven...Condolences to you all from a second cousin who had so much fun growing up with Susan. Even though geography kept us out of contact for many years, Susan has always occupied a special place in my heart and mind, so she and our wonderful memories will be with me for as long as I am. I wish the same for you. Cheers and God Bless!
