Susie Crook

I received some very sad news yesterday. Susie McMackin Crook passed away Friday evening, ending her battle with cancer. We met Susie when she became our kid's first preschool teacher at Lancaster Montessori. Although the Montessori experience did not work out too well for my kids--who just need more structure--Susie left a lasting impression on them. After the school year, we had the pleasure of photographing Susie's wedding to the love of her life, Andy Crook. Even though Andy had to check out of the hospital to be able to attend his own wedding, nothing dampened the love between the two of them. I got to witness firsthand the number of lives that Susie touched throughout her life. I couldn't believe how many of her past students were in attendance--a true tribute! Ironically, she passed away on the eve of what was to have been a final tribute--and fundraiser for the school--which had to be cancelled due to the snowstorm.
