To the Family of Sue Riffe,
I to had the pleasure of working with Sue at Alderwood Park years ago. She was a great friend and coworker and her compassion and caring of her patients was something she passed on to me. She always had such a positive outlook on everything and could always help people see the light even in the darkest situations. Such a blessing to have known her. My wish for your family is one of peace knowing she's home and watching over all of you.

Aunt Sue was always a treat when I got up to Bellingham as a child. She was easy going, fun, adventurous and loving. She always made time for my brother and I in the summers and my memories of those times are filled with her. She would take us to Lake Sammish to pick huckleberries for her famous jam and get us quirky toys tucked away in boxes and drawers all over her house. One never questioned if Sue loved them, she loved everybody, and made sure that you knew that. She will be so very missed. My love to Uncle Don, Grandma Lois, and the rest of the family.

Dear Family, I had the privilege of working with Sue at Alderwood Care Facility several years ago. I always thought so kindly that she had a wonderful heart, filled with care and compassion for the patients. She was a role model for all of us, My prayer is that those in the nursing field can continue with the love and appreciation she had for her position and mostly for the tenderness and love she shared with her patients. She was a good friend and coworker. She will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to all the family in your loss of such a beautiful person. Heaven is greater because Sue has been called home into her makers loving arms. God bless you all~
