took her humor, vigor and vim to whatever it is that comes after this life.

Susan was one of those remarkable and few people

that amazed, impressed, amused, and infuriated all at the same time.

She was a passionate, zealous advocate for her clients, a brutally honest and forthright colleague

and a person that extracted every ounce of pleasure, curiosity and nuance from life.

Her work touched almost every waterway in California.

Her spirit touched everyone she worked with or against,

her family, her friends, and strangers on the street.

As we miss her and mourn her death, we strive to remember the jubilant

celebration of existence that was her life.
