Dear Rosemary,

My sincerest condolences on the loss of your beloved sister Sue. Many happy memories bring her back to mind as we went through many trials and tribulations at MGH. Her outstanding sense of humor and love of music made life bearable during dark times. She was bright, beautiful and a most loving Aunt and Sister. Whenever we connected over the years she filled me in on all the doings of your wonderful family. She will be remembered always.

Dear Rosemary, I am very sadend to learn thru the MGH Alumnae Assoc of Susan's death. We were classmates/roomates at MGH and after in apartments. She was a good and dedicated nurse. More so I can say she loved her family. I recall visits to Fairhaven and being with you and your parents. She also visited often with me to my family home in NH. My deepest sympathy. Mary Jane Nassar St.Amour.
