Sorry to hear this news. I got to visit with her briefly at the Texas Show last year.

I was privileged to talk with her and her technique and couple years ago. She was very nice and open hearted.

I’m so sorry to learn of this. I once heard her being interviewed on the radio several years ago. Susan was such a terrific artist, one with a brilliant intellect, and clearly, a down to earth, kind and considerate woman. The steel community, as well as all who knew and loved her, will miss her terribly.
