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,

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
