Dear Robert, I am so so sorry for your tremendous loss. Susan was so special and a gifted, uplifting and cheerful person. I sure have missed and will continue to miss talking and laughing with her at Costco. She sure could brighten up my day. You and Susan's mom are in my prayers. Take care of yourself and I hope to see you in the near future. (Food Demo at Costco)

Susan Sabia was one of those rare people who never knew a stranger, always was a friend and had such a gift for conversation and drawing people out that she if she ever spoke to a rock...it would probably have spoken to her. She and her beloved Robert have been a rock to their neighbors and friends always supporting others without regard for their own challenge. The best parties on our street happened at the Sabias. Here's to you Susan.

With Much Love to Robert,

Dear Robert, Erika and family,
Although I only had the pleasure of being with Susan on a few family occasions she was a vibrant, intelligent and strong lady who could light up a room. I will never forget the wonderful time we had together in Nassau at Erika/Al's wedding. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this very difficult time. Love, Teresa
