Memories and Condolences

My sincere condolences to the Lopez family. I was fortunate to know Sue since she came to live with Olivia before Stephanie was born. Her sense of humor was contagious, she was always the best audiences for my jokes! She was so easy to talk to and always had something nice to say to make one feel good. I know my daughter Jennifer always said that Sue was one of her favorite people in the world. Olivia and Steph I know that the two of you were such an important part of her life during happy days and during so many days that she struggled with her health. She was truly blessed with such a caring and unselfish sister and niece. You two cared and did so much for her never expecting anything in return. Olivia, I worried about you all those days that you worked all day and ran to the hopital all evening and into the night so that Sue wouldn't be alone. I know she is smiling at you in the arms of Jesus. May she rest in peace.

I know there is nothing I can say to ease your sorrows of losing your sister, Susan. I remember her attending school at St. Mary's. I didn't get to know Susan until well into our adulthood. She was always so pleasant to be around and she was always capable of making people smile/ laugh. I know in my heart I will miss her laughter, smile and presence around us. "May the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace, Amen"...... Joe Lelis

It's been a pleasure having Susan with us. She will be missed dearly, but she is in a better place now. We enjoyed her laughter, her advice, and her optimistic personality. She is an inspiration. We hope the family is alright. We'll be praying for you.

My condolences to the Lopez Family. Sue is home with our Heavenly Father now and is reunited with her parents and beloved family members. She is whole and I know she is happy. She is in a much better place than we are. I know she will watch over her family and visit from time to time. Listen to your heart and you will always feel her there with you.....Until we meet again Susan, tell my Ruben hello for me and give him my love.

True Story: I was visiting with my aunts and cousin in El Monte and for some reason, the conversation between Aunt Sue and I turned to having children. It was then that she matter-of-factly told me that she never believed that she had it in her to be a mother. That she feared she didn't have much patience and that kind of thing. But that the one thing she always knew in her heart was that she could be one Hell of an Aunt. As she said this to me, I had to believe that she meant it with every fiber of her being, even though she nudged me with her hand on my arm and gave me her famous cackle. She was absolutely an incredible aunt to all of us---my siblings and I and my cousin, the five of us. And once we began to have children of our own, you could see that extend to all her great nieces and nephews in the way she enjoyed them all. Nothing made her happier than being around all her family and laughing, talking, watching us (and then our kids) play.
I loved her sense of humor, her brash honesty, and her opinions. I loved when I would call and waste an hour with her on the phone talking about nothing in particular. Before we would hang up, she always managed to sneak in how proud she was of me and my husband doing the best job we could with our kids and how happy it made her to see us work so hard to be the best parents we could be and that we were doing it on our own. She truly wished for everyone around her to flourish and prosper because she wanted everyone she loved to be happy. I like to think I inherited that part of her spirit...
My husband, my kids and I will always love you, Auntie. But like my baby girl told me, we will never miss you as long as we keep you in our hearts...

Missing you dearly Aunt Sue. I was fortunate enough to sit by your baby photo at the Christmas dinner table on Christmas Eve thinking about how happy you would have been to be eating and celebrating with us. Just so you know, we both sat next to the prime rib! Memories of you and your love for life and family and the special bond you had with Nana will never be forgotten. I love you and miss you!
