I am truly saddened by this news of a wonderfuol friend that I was privileged to know in Sigh School. Susan was a lovely brilliant young lady, and we were all lucky to have known her. My deepest sympathy to her family, and may she rest in peace.

Sincerely,

Mark Friedman

A sad loss for Susie's beautiful family and the world.  Susie was one of the kindest people in our class, and remained so as far a I can tell, having seen her at I think the 50th reunion.

I remember being with Susie at the 50th reunion and appreciating what a kind, caring, and brave person she was and what a remarkable family life she had. May her example inspire those who carry on.

I remember Susan Silverberg well. I actually remeber going over her home and spending time with her. In those days, I was still shy. Although we were not close friends, I remember her sweet nature, innocent beauty, and sincerity, I hope life treated her well because her spirit was pure. May she Rest In Peace !

I was so saddened to hear about the loss of your dear wife and mother..
I met Susie at the Hebrew Academy in Miami Beach where she was one of my first childhood school friends. We later attended Miami Beach High together.. She was always so beautiful, elegant, sincere, kind, fun loving .. and always with a smile.  
We both ended up in the Midwest and she and her family actually came to visit us at our home in STL . 
We last met at our 50th Beach High Reunion.. 
She was so brave -such a trouper..She will always be remembered with a smile.. Baruch Dayan Haemet!!
