Joe and Dave,

So sorry for your loss. I'll always remember chatting with your Mom when we were kids while waiting to go hang out. A wonderful mom.

It was with sudden sadness that I read of Susan's passing. She was an administrative assistant in my section when I was a member of the technical staff at Draper Lab. She always had a cheery attitude, no matter the circumstances, even when she broke her foot! She always knew what the scoop was when something was going on, and she would spend the time to explain it to you. And she was the most down-to-earth person you could ever hope to meet. I will truly miss her!

Such good memories of Susie, Joey and David while growing up :) We lived on the second and third floors while she and her boys lived on the first floor. Friday nights spent in front of her colored TV(!) -- a huge deal back then!

May she rest in peace along with her siblings (Rosie was a sweetheart!) and her mom.

My condolences to her family.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Susan and extend my deepest sympathy. It was a pleasure to work with Susan at the Draper Lab during the hectic days of intense R&D development work. She always managed to brighten up our day when work was not going as well as planned.

Dearest Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Susie's passing. I always wished to have connected with her again. Susie and her two boys lived in my family's first floor home for a number of years on Lesley Ave. I adored her, and Joey and David. I babysat the two boys often and remember so much, even still, of their smiling faces and their little adventures. Susie was a godsend for me as I traversed those most difficult adolescent years. She listened to my stories, and never judged. I had the pleasure of babysitting Susie's sister Rosie and her husband Tony's three children, Laura, Anthony and Barbie. I was sorry to read that Rosie had passed. Again, a person that shared much of herself and never judged. We first met the Madirosian family when Eileen babysat our family, for my mother. I have such fond memories of this entire family. I remember Judy, and Laura and Norbert... and the names Nelson and Joe. Many years have passed. I am truly sorry for your losses and, especially at this time,the loss of your mother, sister, grandmother, friend, Susie. Forever in my heart, Carol James
