I was in Colo Springs recently and heard the unfortunate news of Susie's death. I am so shocked, she was such a strong, confident person and one felt she would be with us forever.
I worked with Susie as a cable splicer for the phone company in the late 70s and early 80s. We lost touch when I moved to AZ but I knew Ron, Roxy and Gabby and saw both Chelsea and Kyle join the Diller family.
Susie was so funny! And kind and caring. She was a good motivator for me at work. She was a super mother and her children meant the world to her.
My heart goes out to her family, sending all my sympathy.
Susie was the same age as my mother when my mom died, 59. Far, far too young. I feel blessed to have known her
