Not sure what to say?

Fair winds and a following sea as your spirit as your spirit transcends the Universe.

I just wanted to say I am truly sorry you lost your mother and I'm glad to read you are doing well.

God bless you always Sue!! I always have admired you beauty, grace, wit, maturity and tremendous intelligence.

“Those who mean the most to us are never really gone. For in our thoughts and in our hearts your memory still lives on.”

I fell in love with Sue the moment she came on screen in Lolita. She had a mixture of sweetness and sexiness, “the perfect nymphet” as she was described by the book’s author, but she was much more than this. She was also a very talented actress with a savvy sophistication way beyond her years. She really made an indelible impression on me that I will never forget.

So young, so beautiful, so sad, so long.

“What is lovely never dies, but passes into other loveliness.” – Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Sue brought a rare, incandescent light to every film and tv role that she appeared in. A lovely, beautiful talent who will not be forgotten.

Sue, who were a beautiful spirit who has left a lasting impression and has achieved “screen immortality”.
