Iworked with Sue at Variety's for quite a while, she was a good , funny person and we always had fun working together, she used to joke that "we" were getting old, and I always told her "you are older than me!" Always talked about her family, how great they were, she was a great mom, and a great person to work with and know. The world is a little bit less because you are gone. God speed, Sue You will be truly missed.

I would like to give my deepest sympathies to Sue's family. I also have fond memories of Sue from childhood and I will always remember her. As the years passed I would run into her every now and then, and loved hearing her talk about the people in her life, always with a smile. May God bless your family in this time of sorrow.

Sue was a great fiend of mine, as she was to the many she now leaves behind.

To her family, I can't tell you boys how proud your mother was of the both of you. She spoke of both of you with nothing but praise and for that, I can't say how much that says about you both, as well as your respected families. Also, not like you didn't already know, but her grandchildren meant more to her than life itself. Everytime she saw me she whipped out all the pictures and proudly showed them off with a glowing smile.

Also, I could always remember your mother coming to my office (behind Variety's) to pay her insurance. The second she walked into my office she lit it up with a smile from ear to ear.

Brett, I will always remember her talking about you and how much you drove her crazy in a good way. It was actually pretty funny to hear it from another mother besides my own.

I just want to express my deepest heart-felt sympathies to your entire family for this great loss.

You boys lost a great mother.
