I was just looking at photos of you and my mom on your travels to Yugoslavia and Mexico!
You continue to inspire me with your love and joy for life.
I miss you to the moon and back.

El Capitan State Beach Goleta, CA.Susan often hosted our book club meetings. In fact, other than Emilda, she hosted most often because she truly enjoyed sharing her home with friends. We always had fabulous dinners at book club and I remember one of Susan's dishes in particular as the best of all. She prepared an eggplant dish that blew my mind – I adored it and had to force myself to stop at two helpings of this insanely yummy dish made of thinly sliced eggplant rolled up and stuffed with ricotta cheese and pine nuts and smothered in a delicious homemade tomato sauce. “It is so easy,” Susan assured me, “it is one of Giada’s recipes.” When I made the dish myself, I realized how time consuming it was! Yet Susan enjoyed making us happy! She always cooked wonderful main courses for us, even when she was tired or had just had company, or didn’t feel 100%. She also sweetened our lives with her famous lemon bars – another “easy” recipe. She made her house incredibly welcoming with flowers and candles artfully arranged on a beautiful table set and ready for us to enjoy. Everywhere you looked were treasures to behold: family photos amongst shells; tiny ceramic pieces with equisite colors; mermaids in unexpected niches. I deeply admired Susan’s fashion style as well – she always looked completely stylish and adorable in her clothes. All of these things, her cooking, her artful home, and her lovely personal style highlight a woman full of warmth, love, caring, creativity!! I miss you Susan!
Great friends are few and are to be treasured forever! Susan was and is one of the special people to grace my life! Always positive even during the toughest times! A great model for all who were blessed to be in the presence of such a wonderful and beautiful human being!!!
My mom and I had a running joke about a quote that kept popping up at the most "weird," times. The quote read:
"Don't worry, everything will be ok in the end, if its not ok, its not the end."
We had so many laughs over how it can be inturperted!
My mom would say,"that means if everythings ok, it's the end," "that's seems creepy if you ask me!"
If you don't get it, keep trying to, it's funny!!!
