    I’m just reading this today, April 18. Susie helped me for years with the layout for the Uni-Pres Kindercottage newsletter. She made the content that I would send her look like a very professional news piece. I’m grateful that I was able to “know” her through Kindercottage and her wonderful talent. My sympathy to her family.
