My thoughts and prayers go out to the Knotek Family. I hope you find peace in your time of bereavement.

I have worked in the same office with Susan for the past 3 years. We always spoke to each other and would chit chat about the office, our pets and just how the day was going. She would always ask me questions about my latest hairstyle.

Susan had a feisty spirit and will definitely be missed.
