    Jerry and kids, I was so sorrry to hear of Susan's passing. I loved that woman so much. We worked together at the old hospital. She was not only our boss but a fantastic friend. I actually was just looking at pictures of a Chrismas party and the fun we had but fun at work as well. She loved being a nurse and so good at it but she loved being a Mom more. She adored her family and that was obvious everyday. She will be missed so much by all that knew her. May God bless you at this difficult time and give you peace and comfort.
