May God help you through this most difficult trial and may you find Peace in Him. At this most Blessed time of the year is when your most precious wife was recalled to her Maker. This must be a good sign. <br />My husband Justin, my father Fedor and I are all praying for you, and asking God to lighten your heavy hearts. <br />Inna lilahi wa inna ilayhi rage'oun - It is from God that we come and from God to whom we Return, Amen. And we must all return to Him one day or another.<br /> Susan shall be missed but what Joy to know her goodness, sweetness and devotion to her family, friends and work is what she leaves behind. No need to worry after her. For those left behind it is such a trial of loss. Time will heal all with God's Will - and only the happy memories will remain. <br />May God Speed.<br />All our Love to you Kent and to your family. <br />Haajar GouverneurUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07417289502584369083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368980555997029494.post-44512797951066154762009-12-15T19:18:07.812+02:002009-12-15T19:18:07.812+02:00DEar Kent..

We here in Louisville Kentucky send our deepest prayers for both of you.I am so grateful that when you were here with us we were able to take Susan to see the major horse farms ...i hadn't known of her immense knowledge of the horse world. And i still sleep the the wonderful brass Egyptian beds she put us all onto and we got back here to kentucky. Our family has loved living across the street in Maadi from you for decades... so many blessed memories. Most of all I think of Susan at the entrance to the tomb sorting shards... and to think she has been washed by the Eternal Nile and "goes forth into Day" in the very place she loved and lived. Amen oh Lord. I weep as i write this. Neville and John Hale send their love.

I am so shocked and saddened by this news. Although I hardly knew Susan, she was kind and patient and I liked her tremendously. Kent was my professor for several classes at AUC and I have a great fondness for him as well. His absolute passion for Egyptology - even at 8am - always inspired me. I wish him, and the rest of the family, peace in these times. They will always be in my heart.kharyssa rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08522555233324449270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368980555997029494.post-1549242373801882422009-12-15T15:43:51.633+02:002009-12-15T15:43:51.633+02:00She was a wonderful person.

If they ever read these comments I would like to express my condolences.
