My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Forever and always!!!!

A heartfelt farewell to Susan, loved dearly, its true;
Our hearts belong forever and always with you!
May God Bless You, Susan!

I am still so stunned that Susan is no longer with us. She was more like a sister to me than a sister-in-law. Always generous, always concerned, always encouraging. She is and always will be sadly missed and dearly loved. I am so looking forward to heaven.
For my dear brother Eddie and his wonderful family - you will be in my thoughts and prayers - I love you

I am missing my sister greatly, and I know that this holiday season will be very sad without her. But I have faith that we will see her again someday, and we will have great rejoicing at that re-union. In the mean time, I plan to work on stronger family ties, and to help keep her memories alive for our family, with God's help.

Susan was the BEST big sister anyone could ever have ... she was always there for us and always ready to pitch in on any project or family event. We suffered with her during her illness and struggled with her in her dying moments ... seeing her at PEACE does give us some sense of comfort, but we do miss her greatly.

Several times a day I pick up my phone to dial her room at BayState, to see how she is doing and if she needs anything, only to realize I do not need to do that anymore. It is still hard to realize that she 'got so sick' and is now 'gone'.

I am sure, as time passes, all of this will get easier ... but we loved her dearly and she will ALWAYS be missed.

I have such warm memories of Susan - her generosity, her quick smile, her lack of guile. She was like a second mom to me during my time at the bookstore and I will continue to think of her as I always have - with love and joy. I am so sorry for your loss.
