I met Susan at the beginning of my sophomore year, and I liked her immediately, just like everyone else who met her.  She was always so fun & happy, and she had the best smile and the most awesome laugh.  We became fast friends, and continued to be for over 30 years.  Even though I moved away from Tulsa many years ago and our lives went in different directions, I could still call her and pick up right where we left off again.  Everyone should have a friend like that.  

The last time I saw her was in 2001 on a trip back to Tulsa, she had heard I was in town with my newborn twins & stopped by my parents house to meet them.  She was a busy single mom, raising her son Cory, and looked even more beautiful than ever.  She was working, happy, and enjoying life.  I'm very sad to think it was the last time I would see her.

Susan passed away suddenly on May 26, 2010.  It was ruled to be from an accidental drug interaction.  She was only 46 years old.  It was a great loss and it breaks my heart that her life was cut so short. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
