I was a colleague of Sue's for many years at Genesee Valley BOCES. She always impressed me as a knowledgeable, caring mental health pro. She had a wonderfully positive impact on all of those she worked with. She will be missed.

Sue has been a dear and cherished friend to me for 25 years. She was the most thoughtful and giving soul I have ever known. She was an exceptional woman in every way and though we grieve her loss and will miss her, I believe her light has not gone out. It shines in all of us whose lives she touched. May the knowledge of the good that she did for so many be a comfort to you in this difficult time.

I was shocked and deeply saddened when I heard of Sue's passing. I have such wonderful memories of her when we were in junior high school, she was the best friend any girl would want to have. I will cherish those memories forever! My deepest sympathy to all her family!!!

jim, we are all close in proximity yet miles away from knowing our neighbors.Do we ever really know any one that well?
i am so sorry for your earthly loss. Her memory will continue on and the end of her own personal pain should remind you that that is her final gift to all whom she loved.
