Please accept our condolences on your families loss from our family and my mother Shirley. I had the great pleasure of volunteering with Susan at Park City West CC for a few years when I was involved with the club. Not anywhere as long as Susan and Jim volunteered at the club and community. I know she loved Bingo when it was held at the club and we had many laughs there and that is where she got to know my mum Shirley. She will be sadly missed by me and my mother. Unfortunately we will not be able to attend the services as I pick my mother up from dialysis at 5pm on the day of her remembrance. God Bless and take care. There's nothing stronger then a heart of a volunteer. - Posted by: Steven Podolsky (Friend) on: Apr 27, 2017

We are so sorry for your loss Jim. We met Susan only a few times, but it didn't take us long to realize what a caring person she was. When planning our Christmas Dinner Party for our apartment block, Susan suggested that we collect "socks and gotch" for Saloam Mission. Thanks to her leadership and kind spirit, there were many happy and warm people in Winnipeg. Susan will be missed but we will remember her kindred spirit. - Posted by: Bryan and Margaret Brooks (neighbour) on: Apr 25, 2017
