In Memory of Susanna Springer

I was brainstorming this morning with Elizabeth about how to remember Susanna. As we all know, most of the knitting books in the public library were donated by Susanna, often in remembrance of her own mother. I know I will miss seeing the best and most recent knitting books in the stacks with the passing of Susanna. Elizabeth and I would like to suggest that we each contribute a few dollars and purchase a book or two for the Library in Susanna's memory.

I think that's a wonderful idea. A nice way to memorialize someone who contributed so much to our community.

Wherever she is, I'm sure Susanna would be proud of such an idea and would be smiling.

I'm sorry that I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Susanna.
The Missoulian did a lovely article about her impact on the community: http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2009/06/20/hometowns/home23.txt

I am so saddened by Susanna's death. I loved going to Joseph's Coat just to talk with Susanna about knitting, about current events, about art, about other friends who had passed away. I often didn't even buy anything because I would run out of time because Susanna would have so much to talk about. I'll miss her very much. I like the idea of providing knitting books for the library.
