As I am writing this note I am quite sure you are having fun with all of the puppies, close friends and family in heaven. It is going to seem so strange not hearing your laughter and being able to just check in with you whenever. How the school children will miss the wonderful ways you taught them only in time will they realize they had a great teacher. It was wonderful seeing you with your family and especially your grandson the love-of-life he gave you.Our entire
family will miss you dear friend. Your family showed so much love and caring ways which is so wonderful to have seen and now you will watch over them. I know we were blessed to have you in our lives even in the difficult times.
May your family know we are with them now and always.
All of us, Sam, Irene, and the rest of our crew.

I hadn't seen Sue in decades. We were friends at MacDuffie Scool. Despite that long absence, I never forgot her and am tremendously saddened to learn of her passing.My thoughts go out to her family.

Even though I lost touch with Sue in the years after high school, she was a very special roommate at MacDuffie. We had some great adventures at the Cape together too and when our kids were little we met back up to reminisce about the old days and compare notes on motherhood. I know she loved her children very much. She was a warm, caring person and my heart goes out to the family. Warmly, Joan Barnes

My sincere sympathy goes out to Sue's family. Sue - You were a delight to work with and a joy to have as a friend. Through any obstacles you endured, you were always able to remain optimistic and upbeat. Your love for animals surely puts you in a special place in God's eyes - and definitely in mine!!! I fondly remember all of the wonderful animal stories we shared through the years. May you rest in peace - you will always remain in our hearts.
