So very sad to hear of the passing of Su--Just too young--I grew up beside Su's grandparents and always admired how beautiful and nice Su was when she visited from down the road--A very sad loss--

Su was a classmate of mine at Fontbonne, I remember her as being so incredibly smart and beautiful. Most probably don't remember her as a "Cover Girl". The thing about Su is she was always as beautiful on the inside as the outside. When I met up with her later in life as young moms in Milton, I was so happy that Su was just the same sweet and funny girl I remembered at school. I am fortunate to have known such a lovely, intelligent, kind and funny women. My heart breaks for her family...
