I heard about Susan's cancer from her brother, about four years ago. I didn't know you were married and am so sorry for your loss, even after all of these years. Time heals, but memories never fade.
Robert, You are most definitely correct...Susan was indeed an Angel! I was blessed to count her as my friend throughout high school and at UNC-G too. She was always willing to give me a ride home to Durham. Our talks during those times were wonderful; something I will always cherish. I also remember visiting you both in Nashville around 1979 or so. We had such great fun! I send my love to you Brother! Greg
Robert, I remember Susan as always being happy and sweet. She always had a smile on her face. When we went to the 10 year reunion, I was sad to learn that she had passed away. The one thing I will always remember about Susan is how she cried when we all graduated from Northern. She cried so much that day. I think all of us was crying because we knew how sad she was to see us all part and go our separate ways. You were blessed to have the years you had with her. I know she is still looking down on you and all of us. Do you have a picture of her? Maybe you could bring it to the next reunion, so we never forget Susan. Of course, after all these years, I still remember her. She will never be forgotten. Susan will always live in our hearts. I still remember that beautiful smile she had along with that beautiful blonde hair.
When we were living in Nashville, Susan was teaching LD children. This one little toe headed boy (blond hair) would come to school every day dirty, with old clothes and shoes that didn't fit and he smelled like wood smoke. She found out that his family lived back in the woods with no electricity and no running water. They had a well and cooked on a wood burning stove. She brought him home with her one Friday. The little fellow was in shock. We lived in the city. She gave him a bath. I don't think he had ever seen a bath tube. We watched TV that night but the next day she took him shopping. She bought him several sets of new clothes and two pairs of new shoes. I was so proud of her.
We new we were going to have to live a lifetime in just a few years and we had some great times. We were members of The Clown Company of Columbia TN and we learned to juggle. We did parades and performed for the Nashville Parks and Recreation, Governor Ray Blanton, Governor Lamar Alexander, Mini Pearl and Tom T Hall. I am starting to ramble and better stop. I still get teary eyed.......
I remember Susan walking down the halls of Carrington singing "Jeremiah was a Bullfrog" and not liking the fact that Mr. Morgan had asked her to stop singing! She always, always had something interesting going on! Susan was a dear friend who cared about everybody else's well being more than her own. I miss her!
Susan was such a positive and upbeat person. I always enjoyed her company and count her as a blessing that entered my life and remains as a dear memory. Her smile will never be forgotten.

Susan and I were married in 1977 while we were in school in Nashville TN. She passed away in 1984 after a long struggle with cancer. She was an angel.
