I have known Susan since we were children in Grindstone Pa. She has always been a kind, sweet, person. My prayers for the family. I know Susan is now in Heaven with the rest of God’s angels.
Dear Richard and family, I am your cousin Susan (Jacobson) Reiner, Glen Burnie, Md — the daughter of Ruth Bill who married Ken Jacobson. I have been thinking of you and Susan lately. I sent an email at one point last year, and thought it unusual that Susan did not reply as she always did, but I put it off to just being busy and all that. Sadly, I just did a very broad online search to see if your address still popped up as I remembered it, thinking perhaps you had moved, and was so saddened to learn that Susan had passed. We all didn’t see a lot of one another, but I remember her as just being so kind and such a wonderful conversationist. We all once had lunch together when my mother was still living and it is a sweet memory that I will treasure. She was just so easy to get to know. My condolences to you, Richard, and to the family.
Dear Richard and family, My deepest condolences to you and your family on the passing of Susan. She was a dear friend to me and helped me understand many things relating to my husband’s condition and she was so right. I will miss her not being on this earth. God bless her soul. Love, Cindy ( friend of Robin’s) that came visit a couple times.
