About 2000, when I was one of the few female PMs at MSN Ops, I was told that I should meet a woman who had joined the MSN Networking team from MSIT. Susan's arrival on the MSN Networking team was a great lift because Susan brought to any team she joined a willingness...

I've known Susan from conference-presentations up to a certain day X. It was one day in April 2018 when Fearghas invited me to Boston to talk to me about Flexoptix. A trip with a stop-over via Reykjavík and a connection to Boston. Fearghas, I've known a few days...

Sue was one of my best friends in the world. We shared our frustrations as correspondents in distant lands (well, 50 miles away or so) at the same newspaper in eastern Washington. We cheered each other on through our advancements and consoled each other when we went...

Dear Susan, I still remember you were biking by my side at MV last month, I still can hear your laughing on the ferry way back. How I wish we could bike again ! I will always remember you and miss you!

So sad to hear about her passing away. I think I last met Susan at the RIPE meeting in Rotterdam. Always very nice conversations with a talented woman.

Here is always-cheerful Sue at a WWU journalism picnic, probably 1978. We lost touch for a while, but reconnected when I arrived at Microsoft as a technical editor. By then she had left journalism and was a network engineer. I...

Sue Taylor, as she was known in 1982, was the first friend I met after moving to Sunnyside, WA. We were both bureau reporters working for competing newspapers (but covering different beats) and lived in adjacent rental houses. Initially, our friendship was rooted in...

I met Susan when she started at Microsoft and we worked together in the networking group for a while. We drifted apart when I moved to Boston in late 2001, but when she moved out here, she reached out and we would occasionally get together for lunch etc. She was - to...

Susan was a friendly neighbor and all around happy person - the time that our deaf Bulldog jumped into her car with Victoria and the flat out laughter and smiles that were coming from Susan are a vivid reminder of her Joie De vivre - I will miss her

Hello, I am terribly sorry to hear about the loss of Susan Forney. She was such an amazing, upbeat person. When I started at Microsoft 16 years ago, we worked together for a short time on the same team before she shifted to another team within Microsoft. However, we...
