I first met Sue (officially) while she was helping to take care of her cousin Gerry (my dear friend). After talking to her we found out that we graduated from Bloomfield High together. During Gerry's passing she was a great strength to the family and truly helped everyone get through the sadness. I am honored to have known her and I am sure that heaven is rejoicing because she is now at eternal peace, while she is still watching over us. Look for the heart hugs she will be sending because...

Dear Sheldon Family,
Words can't express how sorry we are for the loss of Sue. As a neighbor and friend for so many years I sit and think of the fond memories of her. She was such a wonderful, caring person and always there to lend a helping hand or to simply make sure all was well. I'll miss seeing her sitting on the front porch as I pulled up to my parents house saying hello and catching up on what's new. Although she is no longer suffering it doesn't mend that piece that is...

Sue was a very kind, dedicated friend to all who knew her. Especially to Vivian Young, her one time neighbor. She took great pains to assure Vivian was taken care of in her final days. I only hope the same could be same for Sue. Lefty, Christening, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Be strong, that is what she was and would want you to be. Love you all. Mandy and Frank. God bless.

I am so deeply sorry to hear about Sue's passing. When I joined Prudential in 2007, Sue was one of the first people I met and was always there to offer advice and guidance. My deepest sympathy to the entire family.

My condolences to Lefty, Chris and all the family. Words cannot describe the void Sue's loss will leave us all. Her matter-of-fact demeanor, her charitable attitude, her bright smile, and so many other lovable things that made her Sue, will all be missed.
I've lost touch with Sue and the family over the years, but I remember her in a younger life. If you met Sue one time, you remembered her and she left an impression with you. If you were fortunate enough to meet her a second time,...

I am so sorry for your loss. I first met Sue back in 2003 while on a project for Prudential. Since she has always been my go-to person concerning system security. We have worked on so many things together and she will be greatly missed.

Dear Sheldon Family,
Sue was a great person to be around, and the last time we chatted was when she was hard at work at last year's Women's Cornerstone Retreat - she was "making sure" that all the attendees "had everything they needed"! I am very sorry for your loss, and I know that God is cradling her in his arms where she is at peace! God Bless, Theresa Flood
