The memorial service for Susan was an amazing as the woman herself. It was at the Golden Gate Club at the Presidio in the city where the views of the Bay and the famous bridge were stunning. The room was large enough to seat the over 400 people who attended. First her husband, sons then famous people from organziations she was devoted to spoke to the crowd. It lasted over four hours and there was a beautiful array of food that followed the service. I was able to speak with her husband Mark just after we arrived. He was still so very stunned that she died so suddenly. As were we all.
The group from the ILD Support Group sat together and Sally, the head of the group, was the final speaker who spoke about the work Susan did to help others with IPF.
Our drive back down the coast was beautiful, the fog had drifted in and our thoughts were with Susan and her family. This woman left a very large footprint in her short time here on earth.
