To The O'Keefe Family : Deepest sympathy to you all. My years with Sue at Central High School continue today as a fond memory shared with many other of her friends. We hope as tears flow at this time, the wonderful days of so many years gone by will create a message that will dry your eyes and bring a smile for you all who knew Sue as a friend and a classmate so many decades ago.

I am in shock to learn Susan has passed away. I hadn´t talked to her for awhile so thought things were going well. She was the best friend ever for over 50 years. So many memories fromGlastonbury and Noank. If I ever needed cheering up I would call Susan. Would someone in the family please call me at 15613130702
