Susan, you went far too soon. I will always cherish your laugh, wit, sense of fairness and willingness to collaborate. You left your mark on this world.

Susan was an animated director and leader I admired and worked with while at Community Services in Mississauga.
Mickey would also share the wonderful adventures the 'southern sisters' had together over the years.
I hope fond memories and her energetic spirit will fill the gap left with her untimely passing. Condalences to all.

Dear Trevor, Christopher, Kira and family,
I regret being unable to attend today’s memorial, so am writing to extend my sincere condolences over our loss of Susan.
She was a great inspiration to me, as I was blessed with the privilege shared by many City of Mississauga staff, to work under her direction. Susan was very popular at the City, and I can only imagine how many inspiring tributes will be offered today, not only from City staff at all levels, but also from politicians and from community leaders.
Trevor, a special thankyou to you for sharing Susan so selflessly and thereby enabling her to serve the community so admirably, thereby enhancing the qualify of community life for so many.
Best wishes as you celebrate her life today, and best wishes always!
