Please pass on my condolences to Susan's family. I never knew her personally, only through my genealogy and I always found her very helpful and friendly and always seemed to go that extra little bit for you. The World has lost a beautiful person and genealogy has lost a true champion. Many tender memories soften you grief, May fond recollections bring you relief, And may you find comfort and peace in the thought Of the joy that knowing your loved on brought ... For time and space can never divide Or keep your loved one from your side When memory paints in colours true The happy hours that belonged to you. Helen Steiner Rice Rest in Peace Susan and go with the Angels.
