Wish we could have gotten to know Susan better and have spent more time with her. We were happy to have her join us for Thanksgiving and Easter two years
ago. Due to her illness, we did not see her
very often after that. We send our sympathy for your loss, and know that she is no longer suffering.

I have lived in Bradford Farms for over 20 years and saw Susan on occasion, but didn’t really get to know her until about 3 years ago-we started going to doctor appointments together and I was able to take her to many appointments when she was too sick to go by herself. I miss talking and lunching with her. She would come riding down the street and see me in the yard and she always stopped to chat. I have been keeping her dog Charlie for her for the past years-I love him like my own. We miss you.
