  3. Dr Suzanne McClure was one of the first doctors I had the privilege of working under during my oncology training at UTMB. She was such a wonderful mentor and I know will be missed dearly by patients and colleagues alike.

  5. Dr. Suzanne McClure was brilliant beyond what research, science and medicine could educate her. She was my geneticist, immunologist and hematologist and during my work up, she would thirst to know more about my disease. All that she embodied can never be matched or replaced and touched many lives by healing and compassion. Dance with joy in the Kingdom of Heaven, Sue. You will be truly missed by all.

  6. Our heartfelt prayers and condolences for our mother’s doctor, Suzanne McClure, and family. We are not surprised to learn that before becoming an MD she took a PhD in Genetics from Berkley and taught at both UPMC and UTMB. If Steven Spielberg had been casting the part of Brilliant Doctor and MD/Professor for a new movie, he would have used her for the model! Her favorite words to our mother have always been, “I wish all my patients were doing as well as you!” Dr. McClure, that was in no small way thanks to You.

  8. My condolences to Dr McClure’s family. I am a neighbor on Dominique Dr. Although I did not know her personally. I would see her watering the yard & riding her bicycle as I walked my dog daily. She always said hello & I could tell she liked my little dog.

  9. Sending heartfelt sympathy to Dr. McClure’s family. She was an amazing doctor and friend. She took care of my husband as an oncologist for many years. I saw her as a hematologist. In fact, I had an appointment with her not long before her passing. She was so caring and compassionate. She will be missed.

  16. Doc., I’m going to miss you as long as I live because you saved my life 25 years ago, and 5 Great grand children later.
    I came to you with a heart full of woe knowing that the Dr. I had gone to for help had given me a death prediction of just a few short years. I turned to you on the advice of another trusted friend and you said ” We’re going to fight this fight together” and for almost 26 years , we fought the good fight.
    I’m heartbroken, but I promise I’ll keep fighting, and I’ll keep you in my heart as long as I live.
