Through my wife Frances, years ago I met Sugar, Sugar's and Ted's large family, her wonderful Fava family, and Ted, her loving husband. I have always admired Sugar's deep love and dedication to her extended family, and to Ted. Let us rejoice over the many happy days we spent with Sugar over the decades, the lady with a fulsome spirit and an infectious laugh that touched all of us. May God bless Sugar on her final journey.

Potthast Family I am so sorry to hear about
Mrs. Potthast passing. I have such great memories of her while Jack and Mark were at Loyola. I loved her chocolate chip cookies she baked for the football team when we went away to the Summit. I can also see her in the cheer leading outfit on the sideline at games. Good times and great memories. My sympathy and prayers to the entire Family.

Some of you don't know me. I am Robin Powell, Joyce Rowlenson's little sister. Joyce and Sugar were close friends; Joyce was Maid of Honor at Sugar's wedding. I have many wonderful memories of Sugar, and the Fava family.
I am so saddened by Sugar's passing, and I am sending all of you love and hugs. She meant a lot to me.

Ted, Cappy, Jack, Mark, and Mia... I was very sorry to hear about Sugar. I have nothing but good memories of our times together growing up, most frequently at our family's annual Christmas parties. It was always so special to get the time to catch up with all of you. I can still recall Sugar getting in there with all of the ladies to help out-sing the men during our recital of the 12 Days...!!! I hope all of you will be able to rise above the sadness of this time, and instead remember how strong and resilient Sugar was, always looking out to ensure the very best in everything for her family. My sincere condolences to all of you, and I hope to hear from you soon....
