Not sure what to say?

I was shocked to here that Sue Pey was gone. Her family was a part of the Children's Cottage Co-op, as was mine. I always admired Sue's zest for life. She will be missed.

I am saddened by this news and share your sorrow in what little way I can. This is a loss for the local community, for Marin and for local oenophiles too. I love your wines and Susan's legacy will live on in many ways.

Sincerely,

Jonathan, Pey Daughters and Family,
20 years ago Sue and I met for the first time in what would become many years of tasting wines at the SF Chronicle Tasting Panel with Gerald Boyd, Rick Jones and many others. As you know we developed a great friendship over the past 20 years, and I will surely miss that. Her smile and laugh were captivating. Always caring, never selfish.
Not a day goes by that we don't think of Sue.
I raise a glass to Sue!
Yours Truly,
Frank...

Jonathan,

I'm sorry for your loss. Susan was a warm, funny, engaging presence. I always enjoyed my interactions with her. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I love Susan's wine and loved meeting her at a special event. What a lovely and dynamic person. It was daring to create a local Riesling- the wonderful, bone-dry, Pey Marin, my very favorite local white wine. I was so very sorry to hear that such a wonderful person as she clearly was passed away so young. Too soon.

Susan was wonderful, to us here at Il Fornaio, Las Vegas. She had a genuine warmth and charisma that made whomever she was talking to feel that they were the only ones in the room. We relied on her vast knowledge, and appreciated her approachability. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jonathon and the girls. We already miss her a lot.
Sincerely,

Jon,

I am saddened to learn of Susan's passing and know that my thoughts and prays go to you and the kids. We were all lucky enough to have been blessed with Susan's presence and joy for life, a wonderful inspiration whose spirit will be a guiding light.

My deepest condolences..

Jon,

I am deeply saddened to hear of Susan's passing, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the girls for what must be a very difficult time for all. Susan leaves a tremendous legacy that we can all be proud to have been a part of and reflect on just how fragile and precious life can be.

With a heavy heart.

I will always cherish our Scrabble games in Italy at the airport near Bari....and the fierce competition on facebook Words With Friends....we had the same taste in shoes....and wine. Love to your family.
