My condolences to Walter and his family. I first met Susan years ago as a volunteer at one of the many races she volunteered for and years later helped Lakeville Estates Civic Association with their involvement with the 8k race we help cosponsor. She always gave so much and those lives that she touched will always remember that beautiful smile of hers. Rest in Peace.
I will miss seeing Susan's smiling face at all the races. Walter, my deepest condolences to you and your family. Susan was truly a wonderful and beautiful lady
Dear Walter and family. We are so very sorry for the loss of your Susie. She was always so loving and happy and we have wonderful memories of her. God bless you and your family during this difficult time. Our prayers are with you all.
Sincere condolences to Walter and family. I always knew I could count on Sue's cheery disposition and happy conversation at the end of a race. She will be missed.
Walt and family- fond memories of Sue's smiling face at so many races over the years. You are a special couple and loved by so many. Prayers and sincere condolences. May your warm and loving memories of Susie (I think I called her Susie back then?) and the many fun times with your running clubs -( I can picture a tee shirt with a funny saying on one?) comfort you in your grieve at her passing.
