Good afternoon,
My name is JoDell Heroux and I was a student of Dr. Susan Peters and I
remember meeting you at a SDS conference several years back and wanted to
let you know that Susan passed away 2 weeks ago at her home surrounded by
her beautiful pups and some close friends. I know her reach was extensive
and she didn't have the ability to reach everyone, so I wanted to share with
you in hopes that you might be able to share with others.
