I had the honor of working for Susan at MO HealthNet. Not only was she probably one of the sweetest women I knew, but she was also one of the most intelligent and influential. We are a little family in Managed Care, and our family has lost it’s leader. I’m selfishly wondering why she had to leave us so soon, but grateful she will no longer suffer.
Rest now…We love you Susan and I won’t say goodbye because I know that’ll see you again. Save a good spot for us. Until we meet again. Godspeed.
