Dear Lorraine, Devon, and my cousins, My thoughts and prayers have been with you over this past week. When we would all be together at family celebrations, I remember Susan's smile, sense of humor, and the many laughs we all shared. Susan will be dearly missed, but the following passage is fitting for the legacy Susan leaves:

They are not dead who lives in lives they leave behind; In those whom they have blest, They live a life again. Donna Sebek Wamsley

Susan was a great flight attendant and a good friend to all who worked with her. She will be missed especially for her kindness and courage.
