Not sure what to say?

Sue sold us our first house in Miraloma, where we started and grew our family. She knew we would be good members of her beloved community, and we are forever grateful for her kindness and care. May she rest in peace.

My heart is broken. Sue has always been in my life. She was more than a cousin, she was like a sister to my mother as was her mother to my nanny. She was my sisters god mother. Sue was a generous, vibrant and loving woman. My heart breaks for Bill who was with her until the end. We are all blessed to have had Sue in our lives.

I am so saddened to hear of Sue's passing. We met several years ago on a small ship cruise in the Sea of Cortez. We had many things in common, our love of travel and San Francisco among them. I was happy when Sue reached out several years later for my help with her trip to Antarctica. I am sorry she didn't have many more years to explore.

Our realtor became our mentor and our friend! Through shared meals and tea we came to know Sue as a remarkable professional with shared interest in international travel, especially to the least trodden places, and a passion to live life to the full. May her shared memories turn mourning into joy.

I worked with Sue at TRI for several years. She was a truly lovely person and her roses were legendary! She was so talented in many arenas. Sad to learn she has passed away. RIP Sue.

My sister Suzanne and I at Caesars Palace Las Vegas in the 1970's. One of many great childhood and other memorable adventures over time. Good person and good friend to many. Will be forever missed. xxxxx. Janny

Sue was an avid rose lover and member of the San Francisco Rose Society. Her love for roses brought us together and we had many wonderful times exchanging travel stories. Sue you are missed.

Sue Kirkham was my God Mother (yet neither of us were religious), my cousin and one of my most favourite people in the word. We had a joke that Sue did not keep up her religious duties. However Sue was so much more than just a God Mother to me. It was not about religion but kinship. I always felt very connected to her and I aspired to be like her. Sue had such a zest for life and travel. She was a strong, independent business women that was exceptional in all she did. Sue was community...
