Susan loved with her whole heart and without condition. She had a way of making every person she met feel special and important. As a single mother, she devoted her life to her children. She always taught them to look for the positive in every situation. She was very brave, strong, resilient, and patient, and a fierce protector of those she loved. She was very witty, and funny with an amazing sense of humor.
