Dear Carrie, Scott and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Susan when she was much younger when we were neighbors and our kids played with each other in our babysitting club. My daughter, Melissa (Missy Koch) also sends her sympathy. She did remember Susan from seeing her at the hospital where I worked for a few years. I hope many memories give you comfort. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Jo Ann Koch-Boyd
