Susan Howard
December 9, 1954 – August 17, 2023
The Connecticut Burns Care Family deeply mourns the passing of our Administrative Leader, Co-worker, and of course, friend. Susan was with the CBCF for over 18 years giving of herself mentally, physically, emotionally, and all of her heart to our Champions, the children.
All that knew Susan walked away with a sense of direction and feeling loved. Distinct in the way she led the daily business of the CBCF, she secured years of legacy to be enjoyed by all.
She will never be forgotten, always remembered with love, and revered as one of our great leaders. We will miss her greatly.
As a tribute to our beloved Susan’s passing, a GoFundMe has been dedicated to her cherished pets that were left behind. Her daughters have graciously and lovingly given these animals homes without hesitation. In lieu of flowers and a way of condolences, please contribute to the care of these three rescue dogs and two elderly cats: https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-honor-of-susan

‘I’ve never seen anybody like me’:
Childhood burn survivors embrace their scars at summer camp
The little girl stands in a clearing in the woods, her chin tucked to her chest, her gaze cast down on the sun-dappled forest floor. Beside her, her camp counselor leans close to see her face, searching for the words to ease the child’s fear.
The girl is named Nevaeh, heaven spelled backwards. This is her third day at summer camp. Here on the ropes course this flawless July morning, she watches as one by one, the other four campers in her group all brave the “swing shot.” Each is pulled high into the trees by a line clipped to her back, then soars forward in a wide arc across the clearing. Now her turn has come, and Nevaeh is paralyzed, unable to move or even meet her counselor’s eyes.
