To Susan's family,
I worked with Sue @ FRH for several years. I was a new nurse and she made me feel comfortable. She made me laugh SO many times. I haven't kept in touch w/ FRH staff, so I am in shock to hear about her passing. I just hope and pray that she didn't suffer much. She was a great person and will be sadly missed.

Donna and family,
I was so shocked to hear of Sue's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. My most vivid memory, is her in your living room singing Janice Joplin songs for us. I'm sure you have great memories too. Let those memories give you comfort in your time of sorrow.

Sue and I started Fairlawn on the same day,she went to one floor, I to the other...and that's when our friendship began 30 plus years ago.I left the hospital after 10 years but kept in touch.We shared our lives...children,grandchildren,(as much as busy working moms can) even the same music.How we laughed at an Arlo Guthrie concert when we thought how badly he aged and how we looked so good! One of many stories. My heart is so heavy with the loss of my Bunky or Clara as I would call her...(another story.) Hilary, Jen, Kate please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your mom. She was such a good friend and will forever be in my heart. Please extend my condolences to the rest of her family.

Susan was a very good friend of mine that I have known since Jr and Sr high school. We have always kept in touch with me moving to all different parts of the states and the world since I was in the Air Force. We had such good times and I will always remember them. I didn't get to see Sue when I came back to Worcester for my annual visit. We usually have lunch and catch up on things. I was sick this time and didn't want to pass it on to her knowing her fragile condition. I knew that this would be the last time I would see her. My heart goes out to both of you, Hilary and Jennifer, and also to the rest of her family. Please know that you are in my thoughts at this sad time in your lifes.
