I'll miss you Auntie Sue. Holidays were always the best at your house. I'll never forget the time you went with Mom(Linda) and us to the Cape and the Halloween when I was a kid, that I said " trick or treat" and Uncle Dan dumped a whole bowl of soup in my bag. I loved to visit you, your laugh, your smile , always happy. And watching Kee Kee perform her tricks,.We all walked so my much between our house and yours I remember the path to your house through the trees to your house. I loved how we shared the love of birds that came to your house you could hear a Cardinal like I could. I think I get that from you. I've always been told that I've gotten alot from you, My birthdaay month, my sorta broad shoulders and my attitude, Maybe we both got it from my Nonny I'm glad you were part of my life and I'm glad my parents loved you. I'm happy that Sara got to love you too. I love you all, Steven, Dan, Dan Jr, Lisa My thoughts are with you.

I met Sue and Danny when I was 13 in 1961. She was the big sister I always wanted. She was the very best friend I have ever had, I will miss her more than I could ever put into words.
She was one in a million. We shared so many things and I know she is very happy now with her Mom, her sister Ginny and Barbara.
Go With God Sue and I will see you in Heaven.
Danny, Steve, Dan Jr. and Lisa-I hope you find strength in knowing how wonderful she was and how lucky you were to have loved her.
Love, Linda

Sue has always been such a strong positive force in my life and a dear friend.
I feel blessed to have had such a lovely person in my life to call my friend. I will miss her more than words can express. My heart and thoughts are with her family and wonderful memories of her we share.

Aunt Sue.... my best friend and mentor, strong and witty, the unknown comedian with a smile and laugh so immense you could only love her. Sue, always in our hearts and watching over us will be missed so much, words can't explain.
" If I could stop time, I'd stop it with all the times I've shared with you."

The LaPenta Family:
In the short time that I knew Sue, she always was smiling, enthusiastic and positive. I am so glad I had the chance to meet her. May you find peace in this time of sorrow. Please know that you are in my thoughts.

Uncle Danny and family,
I am so sorry to hear about auntie Sue's passing - but I bet auntie Barbara greeted her with open arms. Our family in heaven is growing. At least Paul and little Lenny have aunties now with them. It helps me to ease some of the pain by thinking of them all there together. Love and prayers to you- she will surely be missed,
