Shocking news! One of the pillars of Lubavitch Manchester. Very sad. The community lost an incredible person. We grew up across the street. Humble, kind and generous to all those she encountered. May her children and extended family be comforted. – Kahan Family, Florida.
I am overwhelmed with grief. Susan was like sister to me in all the years I lived in Manchester. She was a very special neshuma and I remember everything she has given to the community. May her family be comforted , Sonia Fish (Dr. Simone Gordon, New York).
