Sue touched my heart every time I saw her. Her warm smile will never be forgotten. For whatever reason God had to call her back, she had to leave all of us too early. Feel thankful we had her as long as we did, for she is so very special.

To the Vicente Family;
Our sincerest condolences to all of you. We grew up across the street from the Garofano's in Elmsford and my mother was very friendly with Sue's mom, Peggy. We went through high school together and some of us are still a presence in Elmsford. We were heartbroken at the news and will keep you all in our prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Sue's passing. I know her as Mrs. V. Sue was my daughter, Jamie's paraprofessional at Allgrove School last year. She was mine and my daughter's guardian angel during a very difficult time for Jamie. Sue spent everyday with Jamie. She waited for me every morning to drop Jamie off. My daugher loved her so much and still does. She still talks about her to this day. I am praying for all of you. Sue was a very genuine, caring person.

Jason, Crystal, and Patrick,
We are praying that God will give you comfort and strength throughout your time of mourning. Sue was a wonderful person. I had the honor of volunteering with her at the Missions Expo at Valley. She was a great leader and servant of the Lord. She will be greatly missed.

Sue,
We met at BUNCO nearly six years ago - I remember your house decorated with Halloween festivities!
You were such a devoted mother - you would have done anything for Crystal and Patrick.
You were kind and compassionate - whether making room for family in your house or helping out families in need.
I remember your love of angels and how someone at our annual ornament exchange would bring an angel with you in mind to take it home!
We'll miss your laugh and chatter at Bunco.
Sue, you were an angel.
My thoughts are with Jason, Crystal and Patrick, Matthew and Joel.
Julie

Sue was a great friend and a spirited lady. She loved her kids so much and was a smart and caring teacher. I was lucky to work with her in Elmsford and continue our friendship when I would visit Avon. She took me to her church where she was proud to be a member. She will be missed and never forgotten. My prayers go to Crystal, Patrick and Jason.

Jason,

I want you to know that Loretta and I are praying for you and your children. Our God is faithful and He will supply all of your needs. One of the ways that He does that is through the care of the Body of Christ. Please call on us if there is anything that we can do for you and the kids.

We are crushed but we are not without hope. We know that we will be with Sue again in that new heaven and new earth where there is no pain, disease, sorrow or death.
