Death notice for the town of: Ajax, Province: Ontario
I never met Susan in person, but knew her well from an online rabbit forum, and later on Facebook. Learning of Susan’s sudden passing was quite a shock; to me, she had always exuded a passion for life, love, and (of course) bunnies. My heart broke when I read Ronnie’s plea for prayers just before Susan’s passing; I can’t imagine what he – and all of Susan’s family and friends – are going through. I just wanted to say that the world lost a very compassionate, heartfelt person.
Rest in peace, Susan…we were blessed to have known you.
