This makes me so very sad.......what a wonderful woman.  I'm sorry I didn't have the chance to get to know her after high school.  Thank you, Terry, for sending out the notice.  Kim Bracher

I have been out of touch with all my friends from Waltrip since 2005,  Its a shame to find out when I re-estaglish contact that Susan was killed  a couple of years ago.  Our fathers were friends in World War 2 and stayed in contact for over 50 years.  She was always a great friend and a wonderful vet.
