To Susan's boys and families,
Susan was a dear colleague and a friend. Please accept my condolences. I'm so sorry she has died, as she made such an amazing contribution to the library world as a librarian in Kansas. I was also a newbie when she started at Neosho and we did a lot of figuring out libraries together in a time of incredible change. I loved the new look she brought to the college library, and her wisdom in thinking of the students first, at all times.
She spoke of you two boys often, and adventures in New York and Austrailia, of growing up and her pride in you, of a wedding...
I am saddened as I tried to contact her this spring and realized I had no infomation to track her down with. I even thought about stopping at her farm, but no longer had the address. It was so cool the day she showed me around! What a rich life she led.
I hope she realized how much she was missed by me and her other friends in libraries. I will miss her still.
