I graduated almost 15 ago,and Greengates still does and will always play a major role in my life. Susan Mayer made that possible by making Greengates such a special and unique place. May she rest in peace, with the knowledge that she touched so many lives and will be remembered by more people than she could ever imagine.

ReplyDeleteRest in Peace Susan Mayer, M.B.E. She was an imposing figure of authority up to the day we graduated (This is your “D-Day” you are off and away) and still more imposing as your boss, yet very kind and good hearted. Its impossible to summarize everything she gave to the GG community throughout the years with an unyielding will, but in the end what she gave us students and teachers was… her life.
Susan Mayer, bid farewell to us with a nursery rime, its fair I do the same now. please watch:

ReplyDeleteMil gracias por haber sido nuestra maestra en todo el sentido de la palabra y por habernos enseñado con su ejemplo el"Greengates way" de hacer las cosas.
Susan was the heart and spirit of Greengates. She brought grace and compassion to every difficult situation; she lead with conviction, always balancing the many needs of the students, their families, staff and faculty; she was a strong, wise leader and a remarkable person! I have no doubt that her presence will forever be felt at the school and in those whose lives she touched. We will certainly never forget her!
ReplyDeleteBe at peace, Susan--we will keep your family in our prayers.
It will be difficult to think of Greengates without Susan. With all the celebrations that are coming, her presence, even though she isn't here anymore, is going to be felt.
ReplyDeleteWe will remember you for all the kindness you gave us. Rest In Peace.
There are some people who are able to impact other lives in incredible ways, Mrs. Susan Mayer was one of those people. As a GG teacher for 18 years and mother of three GG students her impact on our family was truly impressive. It was an honour knowing and working with her in good times and bad. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family, who will always in our prayers. Greengates will never be the same.
