I worked at  Susan's PCP office and got to know her and her family over the years.  No matter what her situation the sun was ALWAYS going to shine.  I feel blessed to know someone like her....amazing grace....

My sister from chemo. You were such an inspiration to all of us as we endured chemo together in 2010. I remember our fabulous night at the "W" walking the Runway for Faces in The Mirror. We were beautiful then and now. I will continue the fight for us. I miss you my friend and sister.

I met Susan when I was going through chemo, we had the same doctor. She was always an inspiration and was always smiling. It was an honor to call her my friend. I love and miss you dear Susan

My family lived and grew up right next door to the Medina's. Connie has such beautiful daughters, ALL of them are so nice and caring. I have nothing but respect for the family. Once in a while I would run into Susan in the elevator at DOR. She really was a ray of sunshine with her big beautiful smile when she greeted you. I feel we are the losers in her battle: she is finally resting in peace and hopefully hanging out with my mom Mrs. Faz. While we are here on this earth missing our loved ones.To Susan's family and friends: I am very sorry for your loss. It was a pleasure and blessing knowing Susan. I hope knowing you now have an angel up above watching over you will bring comfort and peace to your hearts. God bless you all!

God bless you Susan, but even more God bless your children.

PRAYERS FOR THE MEDINA, RAMIREZ AND CASTANEDA FAMILY.  I LIGHT THIS CANDLE FOR CONTINUED FAITH, STRENGTH AND COMFORT.  SUSAN IS REJOICING HER ETERANAL REWARDS IN HEAVEN. ANOTHER ANGEL THAT WILL SHINE BRIGHT.

Although my heart is filled with much sadness...I'm not going to cry...I'm going to rejoice and smile (really big) in Susan's honor....just thinkin about her smile makes me smile and reflect on how blessed I am to have known such a beautiful person....my life is truly better because of her and she will forever be in my heart...God Bless each of you

Susan, I didn't know you that well in the 15 years I've worked at DOR, but every time I saw you, you were smiling that contagious smile of yours.  You were a wonderful and strong woman. And you will be missed by all of us.  
To the Castaneda family, may you find peace and courage through this difficult time through God.  My prayers are with you all.  God Bless.

Susan was the most kind, caring, selfless person I have ever met. I will never forget her beautiful smile, contagious laugh, and most importantly her friendship. 

I am sure when she saw her father up in heaven the first thing she did was hug his neck and tell him how much she missed him. Now they are both looking over their family and friends, smiling and protecting everyone.  

Susan may now spread her wings and fly over that rainbow that she always would sing and dream about... 

You are truly an inspiration to me. I will miss you.

Susan I feel such an emptiness since you left this life. I keep thinking I will get a text, a call or see you walk in. I will always treasure the relationship we had.

My heart and prayers go out to the Castaneda family.  Susan was such an inspiration and she will be greatly missed by her DOR family.  May God comfort and strengthen you during the loss of a loved one.  God Bless!!

Susan fought a good fight, and finished her course...may she now be in Eternal Peace and Joy!  My deepest sympathy goes out to her dear children and family for their great loss.  I pray you find constant comfort and strength from her deep love and the special memories that she has gifted you with throughout the years.  
My thoughts, care, and prayers are with you all!

I met Susan through a mutual friend in 2010 shortly after I had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  She had recently been given the great news that she was in remission from her first battle with cancer so we were at vastly different phases of dealing with this disease.  She helped me through the tough times of my radiation and chemo treatments by being a shining example of someone who beat the monstrous disease I shared with her with such courage and grace.  Susan reminded me of my Mom who had beaten cancer six times over three decades before having the seventh battle take her life.  My Mom and Susan rarely allowed their disease to breakdown their wonderfully positive outlook and attitude towards life.  Since my Mom was no longer around during my treatments in 2010, Susan was a perfect replacement for me to emulate showing me how to confront this horrible disease.

About seven months after I met Susan, we received news on the two opposite ends of the spectrum during the same week.  My oncologist had given me the wonderful news that I was cancer-free and in full remission.  No more than a couple of days later, Susan was told the hideous disease had returned.  Even with receiving this horrible news, it appeared to me that Susan still had an unbelievably upbeat attitude and tremendously positive mental outlook.  She was, and still is, my hero.

I want to pass along my condolences to her family and friends on losing a person who must have been such a beckon of light to all of you.  May Susan finally rest in peace.

A friend and an admirer.

May God give you strength, support and comfort during this difficult time? Be assured of his deep love and concern for you. 1 JOHN 4:9, 10, 19.

With My Deepest Sympathy,

Susan my dearest friend, you were a true inspiration to all.  You showed  each and everyone of us the true meaning of Hope,Strength and Courage and taught us to never give up. May you look down on us from heaven and never let us forget what you have taught us. I will forever miss you and I know we will meet again. Until then you will always be in my heart.

Castaneda Family,
May the God of all comfort help you through this difficult time. So very sorry for your loss. May memories of Susan always bring you comfort.

At times, life can be difficult and full of pain and misery. Susan, you are free of pain and are in a much better place. It was our pleasure to have made your acquaintance. You will be sorely missed, you were an inspiration to many. You will always remain in our hearts, Amiga.

My dearest "BOOTS" I sure will miss seeing you in the office. You fought a very long battle and were very strong and courageous during the whole thing.  I will greatly miss you. Party all the time with GOD.  Love you.
