[Susan in her beloved Alaska. It's another great shot from Hadas, from that 1990 trip north.]
Elisabeth Wilson, the interim director for Family and Community Medicine at San Francisco General Hospital, has informed me that Susan's former colleagues are holding a Memorial for Susan Barnes today in the Comfort Garden there.
The garden is a small space, so they couldn't open the informal event to the general public (if the response to this web site is any indication, there could have been an overflow crowd).
But I thought y'all would like to know that the event was being held today, and that Susan's medical colleagues were remembering her and celebrating her life.

I thought folks would like to know about the celebration of life in Anchorage that will take place Sat, Sept 2, 6 pm. This notice is posted in this weeks Grrlz List - a weekly e-mail connecting the Womyn's Community in Anchorage: CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR SUSAN BARNES 9/2 6 P.M.
Everyone is invited to a Potluck and Sing-A-Long, yes everyone! It is a gathering to celebrate the life of one of our own Susan Barnes. Susan enjoyed Sing-A-Longs and Potlucks - so it is in her memory that we gather and in her spirit of building community - we invite everyone. Out North Theater has graciously offered us the use of their space on Sat, Sept 2, 2006 at 6pm. Come join us. Bring a dish to share, an instrument and song book if you have them. We will try to have as many of the song books from “back in the day.” Most importantly, bring your hearts open to singing and building community. Contact Lynne at 563-0757 for more information. A website was set up in her honor - it is http://www.serendipit-e.com/drsusanbarnes/ RIP sister-friend.
