Susan Vacca Obituary

48, of Boynton Beach, FL and formerly of Stoneham, MA, passed away peacefully at her home on Sept. 17, 2007. Susan was predeceased by her father Louis P. in 1968 and her mother Helen J. (Kittredge) Vacca in 2005 and her much loved and devoted companion, her dog, Jake Livingston Vacca in 2007. She is survived by and will be greatly missed by her sister Diane M. Vacca of Tallahassee, FL, her brother Tom and his wife Kathi Vacca of Windham, NH and sister Carol A. Vacca of Stoneham, MA. She is also survived by her nephews, Rob and his wife Theresa Vacca and their children Alyssa, Brendan and Christopher of Wakefield, MA, Mike and his partner Liz Carte and their children Danielle and Domenica of Rocky Mount, NC and Craig Vacca of Windham, NH. Susan was a cherished sister and devoted aunt. She made friends wherever she went and leaves behind many who will miss her very much. She is gone from our sight. That is all. Her diminished size is in me and not her. Just at the moment when someone at my sides says, "There, she is gone", there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!" She is just gone from our sight but will forever remain in our hearts. Friends may join her family for a memorial service, on Sunday, September 23, 2007 from 2 PM to 4 PM at the Lorne and Sons Funeral Home, 745 North Federal Highway, Delray Beach, FL. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to a local Humane Society or to Vitas Innovative Hospice Care, 1901 S. Congress Ave #420, Boynton Beach, FL 33426.

Sues was one of my closest friends. We were very young but she is one of the most relevant people in my life. I still think of her regularly and consider her a very influential person in my life...
