sad nooz
 

When I first started reading and posting here in rec-crafts-beads, I
was delighted to find people who share many of my own passions and
also some troubles and ways of dealing with them. I made friends, many
of whom I have never seen in the flesh. We share our love of beads,
creativity, family and friends, our hopes and fears, our ways of
overcoming pain and fear through creative work. One of the brightest,
twinkliest, and occasionally prickliest was Sooz, (Susan Hara) who,
once assured of my true interest in beads, welcomed me here and gave
me many moments of pleasure with her posts. She was a driving force in
this group for many years. Her love of beads, color, animals, and her
husband Kevin were all shared freely with us here.

Sooz died of brain cancer last night, and she is no longer in the pain
that was a daily part of her life for many years. I rejoice in her
freedom from that and mourn the loss of her words. Good night, my
friend. Sleep well,

Sarajane

I am so very sorry to hear this sad news. I did not know she was ill
because I never got any replies to my emails to her in the last two years.
I have three pictures of her up on my workroom wall.

Sooz was the instigator of the BFNR parcels but there really was a
reason. The ones I got were to cheer me up when I started with my
serious heart problems.
Reading your message made me feel very cold inside.
I treasure all the things that she sent me over the years since she
breathed new life into RCB. Even now that seems to have gone.

My condolences to everyone who feels the loss of Sooz.
May her God keep her in the palm of his hand.
Hugs
Shirley

She was diagnosed about a month ago, after a fall. I like to think of
her as out romping with the dogs now, who she missed so much when they
went ahead. And finding the stars an acceptable replacement for
Swarovski crystal.

love you, my friend, glad to see you here even for such tidings.

Thanks so much for letting us know this. Having a hard time
responding to this. Pete and I sat here and cried when I read this.
I've loved Sooz dearly and admired her tremendously, as a beader, and
especially as a person.

As well as having my RCB gallery still on the wall I also have a picture
of one of her dogs.
I check the group everyday hoping someone will post something but I did
not expect this.

Thank you my dear friend and the love is returned.
Hugs

Good to see you here now, Tina. I feel like I do at funerals; glad to
see the people there, but so sad for the reason.

Sooz delighted in this group back when it was active, even when she
sometimes got infuriated. I wonder now if the cancer had anything to
do with the mood swings that would occur. In a Caring Bridge post from
Sooz when she was diagnosed, she said the scans showed cancer
permeating the tissues " like lace throughout" and I thought, yeah,
thats our Sooz, finding something strangely beautiful to say even
about that.

I've missed her, and you guys. She was sick a lot and didnt always
have the energy to answer emails even before this, and we've all been
busy with our various things, both the good and the hard. So, in honor
of Sooz and her love of beads and of us, I'm going to post here again
more often, and show off more beads.

Strange - I had a similar thought. I was never active here and can't
claim knowing Sooz at all, but I am so sad to hear of her passing. I
loved her style.
Keep posting folks.
