Very sad news,   Had known Dave,  through his business. Invite to wedding, 2/2/02,  and a party every year after.   Paris, Mannechor, Rivera, Greek Church, Valley Dale, and even summer event at Mart Orton.    Do know this,  Susan and Dave,  were meant to be.  Very sad, that he lost her so soon.   :-(   
           

Ms. Swartz was my teacher in 4th & 5th grade back in the 90s.  She taught my cursive handwriting! But more importantly how to be kind and caring.  
Thoughts and prayers for the family.  Ms. Swartz Will be missed.  

David, Ann, Stephen, and all those who love Susan,
      It saddens my heart to know such a loving lady has left us on earth.  Extremely happy for the many reunions she will have in heaven.  
     Susan was a gift to me.  She was funny, loving, caring, supportive, thoughtful..... I could go on and on.  She was family.  I adored her and loved being around her.  I will always remember the joy we had singing together at St. Marks, bowling with Aunt Betts, grading school papers, and just plain being friends. 
    God has called home a loving servant.  I am so thankful for Susan impacting my life with her love, support, and joy.   I so wish I could be there to  celebrate her life with you.  I will be singing songs to celebrate the impact she had on my life.  Hugs and comfort to all as your remember her with love and grieve the loss of her essence in your lives.  Vicki Shook Blubaugh

My sympathies to you David and all the family.  Susan was a blessing to us all.  She was such a kind, thoughtful and caring person.  I will never forget all the anniversary parties we shared with the both of you.  Susan will be greatly missed.

David.  Very sorry to learn of Susan's passing. All my best wishes and regards.    Craig Stewart

I first met Mrs. Swartz in 1989 when I was in 4th grade and she was one of the most influential people in my life at that time and continued to be important well into adulthood. She was at graduation parties and weddings for my brother, sister, and I. She is one of the reasons I became a teacher and have stayed in the professional for 20 years. I am so sorry for your loss and for the loss to all of those people whose lives she touched.

Little did I know when I received my first phone call from Susan requesting information for a wedding reception that it would prove to start a17 year sharing of ideas and themes for annual anniversary celebrations. 
As a former teacher, Susan and I shared a lot of educational history.
Susan became a beloved friend and Sister from a different mother.  Working with her and David on their annual event (which started the day after the current gathering!) has been the highlight of my professional entertaining career. I treasure the memories and confidence the Smiths bestowed upon me and the mBe team. I look forward to reconnecting with Susan in our heavenly eternity to pickup where we left off, and David, keep those future themes handy when we start the process again. From all of the players and participants in your annual event - our deep gratitude and THANKS for being a part of the BEST Celebrations for David and Susan Smith each year.
With much love,
Margaret Brown
