Dear Doerr Family, I am so very sorry for your loss of your beautiful oldest daughter Susan. My many years of friendship with Sarah allowed me to see the love you all had for each other, the friendship you shared as a family, and the strength you all have through tough times. Sue was a wonderful older sister to Sarah. From fashion tips, to hairstyles, to advice on boys, Susan was the older sister we all wanted. It's such a sadness of loss of someone so young, but I feel at peace believing that she is now at peace and can watch over us and her wonderful nieces for the rest of our lives. My love and heart goes out to you all. Laura

Mr. & Mrs. Doerr, I was so deeply saddened by the news of Susan's death. You may remember my family from Brown School/Deer Park days. My parents were Peggy & Tom Fleming. We lived at 22 Foxbar Rd. I so well remember Susan in the '60's and how beautiful a girl she was, but more than that she had a beautiful personality. My family and I wish to extend our deepest sympathies to you all. We hope that her treasured memories will sustain you throughout the years to come. Sincerely, Rosemary Fleming-Featherstone

My deepest condolences to the Doerr family. This is so very sad and shocking for all who knew and loved her. I first met Sue the day she arrived at the Ontario Waste Management Corp (OWMC), as Don Chant's executive assistant. I was then OWMC's Communications Director and had the priviledge of working with her at OWMC, and remaining her friend after those days ended. I knew and worked very closely with Don Chant, as Sue did. I came to see, first hand, how she so quickly gained his trust and friendship, which continued right to the end of Don's life. Don allowed very few people into his professional and personal life, and it is a testament to Sue - her intelligence, her loyalty, her wit and her energy - that she became amd remained one of his most loyal and trusted friends. When I left OWMC in 1990, after 9 years working there, Sue gave me a 6 page letter she had handwritten to me, in her articulate and elegant way. It is a wonderful letter - articulate, thoughtful, insightful, kind and gentle. It became then, and remains so today, one of my most treasured possessions, and I have read it often over the past few days. Over the years since OWMC days, our friendship continued. We would talk often, gather with Don at least once a year for dinner at Le Tru Normand (Don would not eat anywhere else!),and meet occasionally for a drink or lunch. I watched Sue's light grow dimmer, offered gentle advice...and worried about her. I last saw her when I invited her out for dinner and a TSO concert last spring. She was clearly struggling, but her light grew a bit brighter that evening, as we looked over more photos she had brought along of our time with Don at OWMC. But as I said goodnight and gave her a hug, I struggled with what I should do. I did nothing... but continued to worry. I would speak with Mark, or Monte, or Sherry, each time feeling an ache and a need to act. Today there are many of us struggling with our 'should have/could have' thoughts. There is a sense of terrible sorrow, deep regret and an aching guilt. I should have done more, but I didn't. May it comfort you to know that her light shone for so many, that so many saw, learned from and enjoyed her wonderful gifts, that so many now mourn your loss with you. She has left us with much to give thanks for, much to remember, so much to admire. She has left us too soon. I struggle, like you, to understand what meaning there is in such an untimely loss. But I know in my heart that she is now at peace, and not far away. Michael Scott

I was shocked to read of Sue's passing. To the Doerr family, I am very sorry for your loss of Sue at such a young age. Although I had not seen Sue in many many years, I will always remember her wonderful laughter and smile at North Toronto Collegiate. She always reminded me of a lovely china doll with her radiance. God bless you all....journey well Sue.....Fondly, Liz Heenan
