Even when I cant help financially as much as I would like to be able to, I am trying to find creative ways to pay it forward in some manner. I take this as a daily challenge and will continue to. Each time I do something I look up and smile, knowing she is smiling back.

The family had been told of a program at Duke that is having some good results with stem cells to re-create what was not able to happen before birth, but of course no insurance coverage and the family has already been financially shaken. It seemed like a Susan moment to add some dollars and prayers to this opportunity... a young family backed to a wall but not relinquishing hope.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544377775431972196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131782111792805377.post-2197291461946141382012-12-04T10:42:23.780-05:002012-12-04T10:42:23.780-05:00so far, I have fulfilled a few things for you Susa...so far, I have fulfilled a few things for you Susan. I did not know you personally, but you were an inspiration. I did the following this week. 1. I put $20.00 on GC at target, and handed it to a lady with three little ones walking in as I was walking out. I told her to pay her thankfulness forward to someone else. 2. I paid for 5 cars tolls behind me on the falmouth turnpike. I placed high value coupons That I wasnt going to use on the corresponding products in shaws. so far, its a small list, but I will do something as often as I can during the week. Thank you for sharing your story, and thank you for the reminder of how little things really do have a snowball effect. Bless you, and my prayers to your family during this time.<br />belladannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976003002136401121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131782111792805377.post-75326598372078598622012-11-29T15:00:37.801-05:002012-11-29T15:00:37.801-05:00With each blog, story or memory that I have read a...With each blog, story or memory that I have read about Susan I am touched by the outpouring of love from those whose lives and paths crossed Susan's. The tears fall from sorrow but also rejoicing that her life impacted so many. I am inspired by her strength,will power and determination to be a fighter...and am so very honored to have known and be friends with her. Life is indeed fragile, so handle with care. Thank you for being a vessel for the Master's use., a true Scion, and for showing us how to embrace life despite what it may throw us. <br /><br />You will forever be remembered with fondness.

She was a beautiful example of how to 'live like you are dying,' never allowing her own trials to define her. An amazing angel sits in heaven tonight. God's peace and prayers to all of her family.

That sense of humor and never taking herself too seriously would carry her far in life and help her win many friends and fans.<br><br><br /><br />She was an amazing woman with a brilliant mind, a kind heart, and an infectious smile. Susan faced her struggles in life with an optimism and persistence that I’ve rarely encountered. I count myself blessed to have known her as a friend and colleague.<br><br> <br /><br />The hundreds of people whose lives she touched and influenced are better off because of her.<br><br> <br /><br />Take care Susan. Thanks for living your life as a bright and shining example to us all. May I have the grace and wisdom to live the way you died.<br><br><br />StephenStephen Fairleyhttp://www.stephenfairley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131782111792805377.post-52874115289576926842012-11-28T18:22:07.430-05:002012-11-28T18:22:07.430-05:00Beautiful Becky, just like your daughter(s)...my p...Beautiful Becky, just like your daughter(s)...my prayers, and love to you, Paul, Tan, Huy, Tracy, Joe, and Scott...XORoxanne Asheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16702263437122929343noreply@blogger.com
