Oh crud.

[KnottedYet]

Oh dear.

Thank you for letting us know.

Here's the web page: http://www.fatcyclist.com/2009/08/05/dont-say-she-lost/

How terribly sad.

[Pan Dulce]

Oh no no no..

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.

Will be wearing my Fat Cyclist jersey the next time I ride.

Just so heartrendingly sad. I wish the family peace.

Very sad evening indeed. I was riding at that time.
I sent Fatty a return tweet. No words seemed quite fitting for the fight he led for her.

After reading the blog recently, you knew that this was coming, but it's horribly sad just the same. My heart breaks for Elden and the kids.

Very sad...

She brought out the best from Fatty and out of all of us. Through her, Fatty's web site became far more than just another cycling web site, blog site. It became a rallying point for all of us to fight cancer. We rallied for Fatty, we rallied for Susan and we rallied for her children. Her physical being is gone now but her spirit will live on through Fatty. Her fight..., will continue with Fatty. One day, we will have a cure. And Susan will be part of it.

My absolute respect for Fatty in his unweavering devotion and support for the long trek. All I can offer is my deepest sympathy and condolence.

Peace and tranquility for Fatty and their children,
Shawn

what a sad story, but with two very strong heroes.

Susan left quite a legacy. All that money raised in her name that will go toward finding a cure, helping others, etc. She and her family taught a lot of people about courage, dignity, strength, grace, and love.

I am a spiritual (not church going) person, so I really do believe that she's in a better place. May the ones she left behind, who love and miss her, find comfort in the good memories.
