I just thought I'd let everyone know that Susan passed away tonight. I tried to find a thread to see if someone posted already, but I didn't see one. I'm not sure if this is the right spot or not.
Here's Fatty's tweet:
"Susan died 7:25pm. Her battle with cancer is over. Mine just got more intense. FIGHT LIKE SUSAN."
I'm at a loss for words. I know people always say things like "she's in a better place now" or "she's no longer in pain" and all of that is true, but it's so hard to lose someone. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Nelson family and their friends. I hope they can find some comfort and peace.

On one hand you're glad the suffering is over, but on the other you sorely miss the person that was. Sigh. May the Nelsons find some peace and comfort in these difficult times.

Thanks for posting this.
It's just so, so sad. I do think (from recent blog posts) that she was at peace in the end (or at least, that he was able to give her some comfort). I wish him and his family strength and peace - it has to be hard, and I'm sure it will be a long time before the healing can even think about beginning. They've been through hell, and in some ways the worst is just beginning.

I have been checking his blog every day, I didn't see it today..
I feel so badly for the kids, too. I'll be thinking of them. I don't even know what to say.

Hard news. I've been crying on & off at my computer since I read the tweet about her passing. It's still official: Cancer sucks!
Lots of prayers being lifted up for the family & community who love Susan.
