I am so sad to hear of Susan,s passing. I have not seen Susan for many years but she worked for me and did an excellent job professionally as we'll as being an inspiration to others in the office. I am mostly retired now but will always cherish my memories of her.

To Jim and the family,
It's been over 40 years since I last saw Susan, but 49 years ago Susan and I along with three others, David Highman, Cathy Ford, and Edward Hogarty, embarked upon the arduous study of the Arabic language under Prof. Zomaya Solomon. We were cooped up in a cold classroom in a WW I barracks building for 26 weeks, that language being the only course of study. It was Susan's good humor and joie de vivre that got us through this. While we were all good students, we also had our share of high jinx at that time. Susan enticed me to "chug" a can of beer through a straw. I was clueless as to what this would do to a person (she knew), but it is said that I was doing cartwheels in the parking lot at the school. It was also the time that Susan and Jim began their courtship and subsequent marriage (I even remember the date...last day of 1964 - I could not attend as I was back in Wisconsin where my wife and I were determining our own wedding date, later the next year.) While only Ed continued on in that language, Ed and I had long careers at the Agency as did Jim. Susan was a colleague as well in her two employment tours, for a while we sat at adjacent desks. Susan, being a Bostonian, had good fashion sense. I did not. I had to come to terms that up to that time, my mother, who worked in a department store, had really selected all my clothes and out here I really had no one to guide me as my girlfriend (now wife) was still in college in the Midwest. Susan had to tell me that buying a bleeding Madras plaid shirt and suit jacket was not really a good idea and she helped to steer this fashion-naive guy into the world of a professional work wardrobe at least until my girlfriend graduated and could take over from her. For this, the world and I will be forever grateful. I am very sad at the loss of this good friend from my earliest days in this area, but I will always remember those good times.

To Jim and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Our sympathies,
Dave and Rebecca Pille
To Susan's family, I express my heartfelt condolences. I have very happy memories of conversations with Susan when she went out for her daily walks in the neighborhood. She never missed a chance to stop and chat when we would work in our yard. She will be missed.
My sympathies,
Rose Irving
Words themselves cannot fully express the sorrow that is felt over the loss of your dear Susan. My sincerest sympathy goes out to her friends and family. Losing a loved one is such a difficult thing to deal with. As time goes by,though, you will begin to realize that as you think of her smiles, her affection for family, her laughter, the pain has diminished a bit and you'll find yourself smiling again. I didn't know her personally but, having lost someone dear to me, I can empathize with the pain you have and continue to experience. What comfort such scriptures as John 5:28,29 brought me! You will read there about the promise Jesus gave of resurrecting our loved ones back to life. When he resurrected His friend Lazarus back to life, He showed his ability and desire to fulfill that promise. ( John 11:38-44 ) Can you just imagine the joy Lazarus' sisters felt when they held him in their arms once again? This joy we too will feel in the very near future. Until that day comes, we have the promise that God will draw close to those whose hearts have been broken ( Psalms 34:18 ) I truly hope these few scriptures have helped lessen the pain you feel as they had mine.
