I am so sorry for your loss. Cousin Susie was a great help to my parents when caring for my younger twin sisters when they were tiny newborns. Susie took me to see Hootenanny at a drive-in when I was young-that was great fun! We will miss her.

For Sarah, and her very dear family, I am so sorry for your loss! I will never forget her laughter and the funny things we shared together on the many times we called one another... Jack and I remember the wonderful memories when we took her out for her birthday for fried clams which she loved and she looked forward to us stopping by with Cape Cod Pizza and Greek salad that we all devoured! I have this feeling Sue is one more star up in the sky tonight. And even though she's far away, her brightness and warmth still reach us here to make the night a little less dark. With My Deepest Sympathy....

I'm so sad and sorry for Sarah and all of Sue's family. I'll miss the phone calls I had with Sue and our conversations about our family and Swedish heritage. I was visiting the New England area in August and was unable to visit with Sue but left many voice messages with her. Ruby, Sue and I had a very special friendship/relationship and will have many wonderful memories of Sue. My deepest sympathies to her family. Sue's cousin, Jack R. Goodwin
