    My deepest sympathies on the loss of Susan K. I met her many years ago in one of my first Brandywiners, LTD. shows. She was always so welcoming and supportive. I always enjoyed working with her on the Brandywiners events. She will be missed by all those who were blessed enough to know her.

    Dear Wendy and family, I worked with Susan at the Brandywiners summer shows. She was very talented and very devoted to the cause. She was an excellent performer as well as a tech person. I worked the first aid station for many years. I observed her with new members showing them the ropes. She was always pleasant and kind. I am very sorry for your loss. I did not know she was ill. I have not been active for years in Brandywiners. I just recently saw Ken Jones after many years away. I wish you the Peace of our LORD JESUS at this time of sadness.

    I had the pleasure of working with Susan for 7 years here at PNC. She was always pleasant, even in the face of difficult customer situations. She handled herself with grace and professionalism every day and always had a smile on her face; you could even tell that through the phone. Even though she was a work colleague, I considered her a friend. She will be missed.

    Wendy & family, For those of us that knew and worked with Susan at PNC over many years, we witnessed a dedicated service partner. I had the pleasure of attending a Brandywiners performance and knew that evening (just a few years ago) that Susan was "behind the scenes". Yes, many talents and a genuine smile & kind spirit. May she rest in peace. Becky Emptage

    I work at another bank and much of our business involved working with Susan. I’m lucky to have known her. What a light she is! Her cheerfulness and helpfulness and great knowledge truly touched me - and I hope help me to gain some of those qualities. Thank you Susan.
