To my sister by another mister or should I say your my partner in crime! Miss you immensely! We may not have talked everyday in these last few years, but it didn’t mean I didn’t think about you. I’ll miss our sharing of recipes, nursing techniques and gossip, and political ideals! You were a great BFF, confidant, and cool. My sincerest condolences to Barbara, Krystina and Eli. I know she’s in a better place with no pain, but it still leaves a hole in my life. Love you, Paula
Love you Paula
It was such an honor to be one of her nursing faculty.
Great student!! I was so proud of the nurse she became and to be able to say “I taught her nursing”!! What a great loss for our nursing profession. Susan – may you rest in God’s eternal peace.
Susan, what can I say except that you, Mother Mary Kn, Rita, Dominey and Moose Kultgen raised me from a young Kid with no experience, started out and learned so much from y’all. I know that you are now well again with no pain and no suffering. That was our only hope each time someone went on that they were at peace. Y’all helped this kid grow a back bone and for that I will be eternally grateful and for all the times I floated to 4 south to get knowledge from my other nurse Paula who didn’t let me slack and gave it to me straight . All my love from the old school crew from 3 south and beyond. Fly high Susan. I love you always. Sherri
Im so sorry to hear about your mother. I pray for you and your brothers comfort and peace during this time.
Oh my goodness the old days of Providence Hospital and our friendships forged through hard work and common goals. Susan was an excellent, caring person and wonderful nurse.
