• I was so shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Susan. I worked as her Dental Assistant for about 5 yrs while she was in our community of Fisher River. She was an awesome boss I still think about the laughs we had, my thoughts and prayers go out to her husband Rob & her children. Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Joy Murdock (Former Employee) on: Oct 07, 2013

• Susan was a kind and genuine person who always had a smile on her face. She was a perfectionist determined to get everything just right. Our hearts are saddened by her passing. It is still difficult for us to believe she is gone. Our deepest sympathy goes out to her family, Rob, Matthew and Lindsay. Rest in peace, Susan. - Posted by: The Holland Family () on: Sep 11, 2013

• I had the pleasure of being taught by Dr Lukas as a student in the Faculty of Dentistry in 2002 and 2003. However, I'm not sure I really appreciated her strength of character and her spirit until I met her in 2011, coincidentally, while working as a resident at Health Sciences Centre. She had a quiet resolve that calmed everyone around her (including her hyperactive resident) and many kind words for me. The light is a little bit dimmer now that Susan has left. - Posted by: Blair Dalgliesh (Former student, 1999-2003) on: Sep 06, 2013

• Don't know what to say, you were my teacher, my daughter orthodontist, the smile which welcomed me in Winnipeg. Cannot tell how much I enjoyed sharing the mom's stories, the dentist experience, and a real person who loved life and fought for it. You are so ethical, friendly and beloved. For Mathew and Lindsey, your mom is one of a kind, you were her centre of attention with all her other responsibilities and professional commitments. I was looking up to her how she always have you first. She was a great teacher and life role model for many people... RIP Susan always the best goes first.... You are so missed Hala - Posted by: Hala Salama (Her student at u of m ) on: Aug 13, 2013

Her contagious smile will forever be remembered. She will be missed and will stay in our hearts forever. - Posted by: the Hetze family (patients) on: Aug 12, 2013

• Susie, you had goals and dreams that you let nothing stand in your way of achieving. You helped when help was needed and always had a strong head on your shoulders. I can speak of a little brother who could not imagine not having you around while he was growing up, whose eyes would light up when you walked in the door, who always wanted to make you proud as he thought the world of you. Good luck on the next stage of your journey sis... - Posted by: Robert (Brother) on: Aug 12, 2013

• Friendship, what does 47 years of friendship mean. Susan from kindergarten through high school through marriage and children, we shared many years of life. From the beginning you have been the most caring and thoughtful person I have had the pleasure to be friends with. Always finding the time in our busy lives to share a birthday and never forgetting an occasion. You never changed years later still remaining the kind caring and helpful person you had been from the start. You were always the smartest in class and I knew your profession you chose to be a Doctor was truly you. You became the most compassionate and caring person that I have ever met as a Doctor. You cared for your patients including my children as if they were your own. Your were brilliant in your job and would work till everything was perfect never settling for less. I will miss our time together and even though you were taken too early I will remember all the times we shared. You and Rob have raised two beautiful children who I know will grow up as you both are, thoughtful, caring and wonderful people. I will miss you my friend and wish you rest in peace. Till we meet again your friend Vali My condolences to your family & please remember I will always be here if you need anything - Posted by: Vali Burik (Friend) on: Aug 12, 2013

• My deepest sympathies to her family upon hearing this sad news. Dr. Lukas was always friendly and approachable as an instructor in dental school.
