Not sure what to say?

Very sorry to hear about your wife's death. I will say a prayer in shul this Shabbat.

Sue was a force of nature! I have nothing but great memories of her and and am a better person because she was a part of my life. She will be missed, but never forgotten!

Sue will be missed by many for her generosity of spirit, her many talents and love of adventure. My condolences to all who loved her.

Karl & Family, we're so sorry to hear of Sues passing. She was doing so well the last time we had lunch. Can't forget the many times I sent a chovanistic statement Sues way, she always came back with a dozer one for me. A great mind she had. We'll miss Sue. Bless her & you.
Love
Joanie & Gene, Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.

I met Sue during one of my photo workshops some years ago and we kept in touch ever since. She loved to share positive energy in emails with photos or jokes attached. It was almost as if she it saw it as a mission to make all of us feel better. To open our eyes just a little more. To create a sense of excitement from the very things we had been overlooking before she pointed them out.

She never lost that magical charming ability. Even when we knew she was suffering she would still cast...

Dear Karl and Family,

Peter and I have known and loved Sue for many, many years and will miss her greatly! She had a contagious enthusiasm for life and gave it her all. Her accomplishments were legendary. She serves as a model for us all, showing us how to fight for what is right and not letting adversity deter us from our goals. We will miss her but remember her always. Peter and Karen Gerstenzang

Ms. Gersten, you were the first parent whom I called by first name basis. You were the "cool" parent." During my college years, I'll never forget how you let me stay at your home when I visited my girlfriend who is now my wife. You and Karl were honored guests at our wedding. We also had great times and memories at Burden Lake. We will never forget your kindness. Condolences to Karl and your family. Rest in peace Sue.
