I knew Sue only from talking to her at my work at Kroger Pharmacy. She literally had a smile on her face every single time she walked around the corner and up to the counter. We laughed and joked while she waited to pick up her order. She never said an unkind word or complained about anything in the two years I knew her. She spoke with love about her family and her close relationship with her mom. She will be very much missed. Some people have an energy about them that makes a mark on our lives. She was one of those people. I won't forget her. Judy.

I am so sorry to hear about your wife and mother. I know you will miss her terribly. Roger told me about her. I lost my mom two years ago and it's still seems like yesterday. Keep all the memories you have of her. They get more precious with time. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.

My deepest sympathy to "Mrs. Rookie" and her family. That's what we called Sue when she played softball in the early days, "Rookie". Her Mom and Dad were at all the games and we loved seeing them there. Sue was a great ballplayer and a great person. I will always cherish the good times we had, win or lose. She was a lot of fun. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

David, Jimmy and Kim,My thoughts center on those years growing up in Bromley. When we all were kids. That's how I'll best remember Sue and all you guys....Rich and Eddie Michael...your mom and dad too. That was so long ago...but in my mind it doesn't seem so long ago. They were good years...weren't they? We were all so much younger then. God bless and comfort you all.

I know I speak for many when I say I will miss Sue's smiling face at the gas station. Sue was a wonderful, sweet woman whose time was cut far too short. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family, special prayers to her son, "Little Charlie", who Sue always spoke so lovingly of. May you get through this sad time with the love and support of family and friends. God Bless.

Charlie,
Rita and I are truly saddened by your great loss. I shall always remember Sue as a good woman with a tremendous, outgoing personality...quick with a smile...and just as quick with a quip...who could kid right along with the best of them. You were her soul-mate. And she truly found her fulfillment in life as your wife and young Charlie's mom. What more can anyone ask in life. The world needs more people like Sue. We pray God will comfort you during this difficult time.

God bless and bring comfort to you...Charlie Jr...and Joan.
Love...Tom and Rita Laber

Charlie,
I am so sorry for your great loss. I never had the opportunity to meet Sue, but I do know that you spoke highly of her and I could tell that you loved her very much. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers for the comfort and strength, that only God can give, in the days ahead.
