Hello all, My name is Kimberly Anderson, I am the assistant editor for ACD and MBN magazines.

I am sorry to announce the passing of Susan O'Boyle-Jacobson. She was a renowned cake decorator, friend, and colleague. I have worked with Susan for almost a year here at American Cake Decorating magazine. Last night she suffered a heart attack and the paramedics were not able to revive her.

Her husband Phil Jacobson, is doing well and thanks everyone for their thoughts. If you feel the need to send cards, flowers, etc, please send them to the following address:
7120 Riverwood Drive NE
Fridley, MN 55432

Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. We have been flooded with emails here at the office.

Kindest Regards,
Kimberly Anderson

Hi Kimberly. We've spoken via email a couple times. My deepest condolences to both her work family and her family at home icon_cry.gif I know she'll be missed. My father passed a few months ago under the same exact circumstances and I know the pain associated with a sudden loss. I'll keep you all in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear this. I just met her last month, and she very patiently answered all of my ques. and even gave me some of her fondant, so I could get a feel of what it should be like.

My prayers are with her friends and family.
