Specifically, they’d like to thank the oncology nurses and staff, Kassi Rodibaugh, Chrissy Nash, Erin Buckles and her oncologist, Dr. Brian Mulherin, for providing excellent cancer care. During those 13 years Susan enjoyed life and was a part of many milestones including meeting and spending time with her grandchildren and great niece. We’d like to thank the staff and community at Homewood Health Campus. Susan had a gift for quickly turning strangers into friends. Thank you for your kindness and care during her short but meaningful time with you all. Finally, thank you to her hospice nurse Helen, from Paradigm Health.
