I knew Susan when we were both in our twenties.  I always found her to be thoughtful and loving and good natured.  I enjoyed her warm kindness and friendship for several years.  Though I had not seen her for years, I did think of her often and fondly.  I wish only goodness and sweet memories for her daughter Shannon and the whole family.

When we worked together at St. Bernadette, Susan and I drove to school together every morning for several years. We had so many wonderful conversations along the way. She was a special lady, and will be sorely missed by the family and friends who loved her so much. My deepest condolences.

Susan Richards was my first cousin.  I had the pleasure of babysitting Susan and her siblings as a young girl.  Susan's father James and my father Raymond were brothers. It is with a saddened heart that I offer our prayers and thoughts to the Richards family on such a sad day.  Shannon our prayers are that God will comfort you during this difficult time.

Teri,you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers

It has truly been my pleasure working with Susan this year.  She always had a smile and never a complaint or unkind word.  She was so wonderful with all of the children, especially her little princess.  My sentiments echo those of the little ones in our class who are missing her so dearly.  In their words, "We love you Miss Richards.  You will always be in our hearts."

Susan Richards was an Educational Assistant at St. Bernadette Catholic School where I had the pleasure of working with her for 15 years.  Susan was loved and respected by all staff and students.  She was kind, caring, loving and compassionate.  She was a vital part of so many children's lives especially the special needs children she worked with.  She always had a smile for everyone.  She gave so much and expected nothing in return.   She has left a lasting impression at St. Bernadette School and our sorrow is lessened with the comforting thought that we all had the privilege of knowing her.  She will be sadly missed and never forgotten.

My very heartfelt and sincere condolences to all of Susan's family and her many friends. She has left much too soon, leaving a space that will not be filled. I've known her for many years and she has always been a very special person and one of the most wonderful Educational Assistants I've ever had the pleasure of calling a colleague. Her warmth and compassion for so many children will remain a signature memory whenever I think of her. We shared 2 names and our birth month as well as our profession and a deep love for our families. She will be very much missed.
