    I am a Catholic school teacher who recently ordered Bibles for my class and stumbled across "River of Hope" in the music that came with the Bibles. I was so struck by this song that I downloaded it and searched for info on the artist. Our school's theme this year includes "Hope", and I decided to email the artist and explain how I plan to teach this song to my Junior High class... and invite her to our school to sing it for us. I have blasted this song in my car over and over, learning the words and feeling the soulful, joyful tone...I have been so inspired by it, that it has become a prayer for me... I will teach this song to my junior high class in honor of Susan, who is still an inspiration, and creating an impact after her passing, to people she didn't even know... Thank you, Susan. I know you are on the "mountain of peace", in an "ocean of joy".

    I feel a sadness in the loss of such a beautiful and talented person. Although I did not personally know Susan, I felt as though we were friends and I will always remember her through her music and the few email messages I was able to share with her.

    To beautiful Susan - even having not seen you for all these years, I can hear your sweet voice singing me to the altar, and can sense the peace and deep spirituality you carried with you always...so beautiful to see the photos of your party and to read these tributes to you - only wish I could have seen you again. Love and peace to all who are missing her...
    Denise Perry Lombardo (Sydney Australia, CA) August 6, 2010
    I was introduced to Susan's music at Agape International Spiritual Center - what beautiful sounds! Namaste Susan.
    Vincent Flynn (Northridge, CA) August 5, 2010
    Thank you Bill for this website and I thank God for blessing my life with Susan. I knew her for many years and unfortunately fell out of contact. Seeing these pictures and hearing her songs again and reading about her life lift my soul to thank God for His abundance shared in the life of Susan! What a wonderful person she remained to the last AND what an incredible gift she was to humanity. May her life and her spirit live on in each of us. Heaven seems a richer reward knowing that we will meet her again when we get to that final place of peace and joy!

    Namaste my friend...you once told me " the devine in me recognizes the divine in you." Thank you for sharing your wisdom, your passion and more than anything touching all of us with the presence of your warm love. You are forever my Icon and your smiling soul will remain in my heart forever as I remember those awesome mornings- "Rise and shine and give God Your Glory..." Long Beach Search!

    Jessi McMaster (Garden Grove, CA) August 2, 2010
    It has been such a previledge to have known Susan...to have spent time with her...laughing, playing music, holding hands, and discussing life. She was such a beautiful soul: creative, pure, compassionate, spiritual. I am so blessed to have had her as a friend. I will miss her. I will miss her. I will miss her.
    Hugh van der Linden (Long Beach, CA) July 31, 2010

    Hi Aunt Jean & Cousins,
    I can not imagine your pain of loosing sweet Susan. I pray God gives each and every one of you strength and courage to endure the grief you are feeling. Love & hugs, Marysue Russell

    Czerwinski Family and friends, Last weekend was our local Relay for Life walk. My family walked all night for everyone we love who is fighting cancer and those who have lost the fight, of course Susan was very much on our minds and in our prayers. In the morning, as the sun was coming up a beautiful butterfly flew by my face and lazily fluttered by. I had to wipe a tear and say, "Hello Susan!"
    Theresa Turnier- DeGraffenreid (Gardnerville, NV) July 30, 2010
    Bless you Czerwinski Family as you make happen the beautiful party Susan planned for all of us! Thanks for sharing the family photos...so adorable.
    Margaret McFarlane (Whittier, CA) July 30, 2010
    Dear Susan...Although we may not have been in touch recently, I will always remember your kindness, your smile and beautiful music. May God bless you and keep you. And to your family, may they find the strength to live without you here on earth.
    Gretchen Houser (Long Beach, CA) July 29, 2010
    You knew me the first time we were in the same room. How good we had a few hours together sharing our story.
    Finally you are released from the body's pain. One day I will be joining you and we can finish what we started.
    Peg Heglund (Seal Beach, CA) July 29, 2010
    Susan, I have memories of you all the way back to grammar school. It was such a great ride during those times right after "Human Factor." I have always loved your voice and your music...and it will live on.
    Paul Kaminski (Lakewood, CA) July 29, 2010
    I learned so much from you Susan. You taught me how to endure pain under pressure and what true grace is. Your beauty and talent will always be a gift to me. I will miss you forever but know that you are safe and pain free along with Margarita, Gina and Ann. I know I'll see you again when I finish my journey. Rest well, my friend. Love, Miriam
    Miriam Jablon (Long Beach, CA) July 29, 2010
    Dear Family & friends of Susan, it is you all that feel the grief so terribly but I am reminded that just knowing Susan has been such a good thing in all our lives. May her memory be a blessing to us all.
    Susanne Cameron (Long Beach, CA) July 29, 2010
    Susan - tonight I went for sushi ... I asked the chef to make a special roll - something inspired! He came back with a fabulous creation! He topped it off with cutouts of butterflies! Oh my! So we toasted you with some saki as tears rolled down ... here's to you my friend!
    Valerie MacRae (Long Beach, CA) July 29, 2010
    I always thought you would let me know when you left. I felt it would be in the form of a butterfly. Yesterday I went out to water and there among the potted plants flitted a little orange butterfly. I thought is that you, Susan. Such a little thing, I thought you would be bigger, larger than life. But it was you. Sweet and unassuming. I miss you so much, but I know you are now with God and in no pain for the first time in years. That is a big comfort to me. I know you didn't like to complain and bore that pain in silence a lot, but I knew it was there. I will miss my painting buddy, but I know you will be looking over my shoulder and whispering feedback in my ear. I am so glad I traveled on this journey with you. I will see you again at the end of mine. I love you! Lisa
    Lisa Sielen (CA) July 29, 2010
    Peace and love through all the tears, my dearest other Family. Please know I hold each of you in my heart and prayers. I will miss my dear friend more than I have words for, and I know she is free now and journeying ahead of us. I look forward to the time I will see her again.
    Thank you for allowing me to be part of the family, your love is such a gift and I am so grateful to have witnessed the love Susan has always been surrounded by...and never more so than these past few months. I am humbled by each of you and can only hope to be one day so clearly what God means when He says "Family". Hugs to everyone.
    All my love, always.

    To Jean, Janet, Diane, Carol, Paul and John - I have spent more of my life with Susan than without and I'm not really sure yet how to be in a world without her. I remember when my mom passed, it appeared that everyone had the "cliche" statements to try to make me feel better, but the hole in my heart was so deep, it was overwhelming. Know that so many of us feel this incredible pain, but none can be as deep as your loss and for that I offer you all my deepest love. Please know that Susan was one of the people in my life that was such a constant and no matter how much time we spent together or apart, she never made our relationship conditional. It was always just about love. She learned that from all of you and I can never thank you enough. I love her so much and will miss her so much!
