Walter, Eric, Shawn
Its been years since we have seen or spoken with each other, and I hate that it took something like this. Susan was a wonderful person, I have so many memories of her when we all used to converge at the McShanes or when we were returning from one of our camping trips. She will be dearly missed and always remembered. I offer my deepest condolences in your time of sorrow.

Dear Walter and family,
I was shocked and saddened today to hear that Sue had passed away. We worked together for a few years at TJ Maxx, it has been more than several years now since I have seen Sue, but I can still picture that smile of hers.
She was a dear, sweet woman, who I am lucky enough to have made some wonderful memories with when we worked together. She will be forever with all of us now, looking down with that sweet smile of hers. God Bless you and your family. Sincerely,
Jose Gonsalves
