Susan Albers wrote a sympathy message

“Pat, Janet, Mary Jo and Susie: I was so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. To me, she was always such a sweet, kind and warm woman who exhibited such interest and caring for everyone she met. She also had such a great sense of humor as well. I know she was a great parent, because she raised four wonderful daughters who followed step. Living until 97--wow! My thoughts and prayers are with you all, Susan Albers.”
