I made out Sue's birthday card for June 19 and went online today to confirm her address and was astonished to learn she had passed away one month ago today! I worked with Sue for a short time in the chairman's office of the Cardiology Clinic at Henry Ford Hospital as her assistant, and she never failed to make me laugh. We could find the humor in almost anything, and we had fun working together. We kept in touch sporadically after we both left HFH and I always enjoyed her company. She will be missed! She loved her family so much, and my heart goes out to them in their loss. God bless Ashley, Jason and dear Mia, and all her beloved family.

Susie is how I remember her. She was very young the last time I saw her. I am her cousin and I moved to Florida right after college. Her dad was my dad's nephew. We only reconnected a few years ago on a Facebook family page where we shared memories. My heart goes out to her children and grandchildren. Gone too soon! Belinda Lambert Carinci
