Easter thoughts:
While we are all sad that Grandma is not at our table today celebrating Easter with us, it is altogether fitting and appropriate that our first holiday without Grandma is, indeed, Easter.
Easter is the most important of all of our holidays. It is the day we set aside to remember that God has saved a place in heaven for each of us. Grandma believed in the message of Jesus. So while we all wish she was here with us in person, we can safely say she is happily resting with God in heaven now, enjoying her Easter holiday. Her memory and her spirit are with us today.
There is no doubt she would want us to celebrate Easter as it should be celebrated: not as a time of sadness, but with family, and as a time of rebirth and of salvation and of enduring hope.
Lord, please keep her close to you and take care of her.
We miss you Grandma, but we know you are in a good place.
Happy Easter.

Dear Paul and Jeff,
My mother, Laura, Kris, and I were shocked and saddened to learn of the death of your mom. Laura even flew here from Florida and had to spend the night in an airport in South Carolina because her flight to Detroit was cancelled until the next morning. She did this because she, along with my mother, Kris, and I loved your mom, our Auntie Sue, very much and wanted to be here to say a final goodbye to her. Auntie Sue was a wonderful, kind-hearted lady who sincerely cared about her family. She wanted to provide for you and Jeff a solid base upon which you both could grow and travel through the wonderful journey of life, and she certainly succeeded in doing so.
I cannot imagine, Paul and Jeff, the immense sense of sadness and loss you both must feel upon losing such a loving mother. Now, I can imagine your mom, our Auntie Sue, happily presiding at a heavenly table along with her parents and grandparents, and Jesus Christ himself.

Dear Paul and Jeff,
When my mother, Laura, Kris, and I were informed of your mom's death, we were shocked and deeply saddened. Laura even flew back from Florida and had to spend the night in a South Carolina airport when her flight to Detroit was cancelled until the next morning. She did this because she loved your mom very, very much, just like my mom, Kris and I did. She wanted to be with our Auntie Sue one last time. Your mom was a special lady who loved her family deeply and wanted both you and Jeff to have a strong base upon which you both could grow upon during the journey of life.
I can't imagine the depth of sadness and feeling of loss you must be feeling, Paul and Jeff. Please take comfort in knowing that now, your mom is a beautiful angel happily presiding at a heavenly table with her parents and grandparents, and Jesus Christ himself.

Card Club had our first gathering of the summer on Friday. There were tears and smiles remembering Sue's presence over the last 30 some odd years. A special champagne toast and decision to replace getting together at Sue's house with a yearly visit to one of her favorite restaurants will keep her in our thoughts indefinitely. Love and Blessings to all those she held so dear.

To Sue's family,
I have known Suzanne a long, long time... when she interfaced so professionally with me at Ford Motor and then all the enjoyable card club gatherings and road trips.
Suzanne was truly a sincere and warm friend to all. What a caring heart! She was suppose to go with us to the old folks home so we could continue to play cards forever!
Heartfelt sympathy to Janet and the boys.

When you are growing up, having a place where you know you are safe and cared for is a big deal. I had that at my house, and I had that at Jeff's house. Mrs. Hines was simply the best mom in town. Not because she let you get away with things, but because she made you feel comfortable, welcome and loved. Having someone in your corner means a lot at that age. When I think back to my childhood, there are only a handful of "adults" that I remember having a significant impact on who I am today. Mrs. Hines is at the top of the list.

I'll always remember the family Christmases at Susie's house. Especially us younger kids always trying to sneak into her basement and trying to hook up Paul and Jeff's old video game system (which we never could do!)
She was a wonderful woman and will be missed.

Sorry for your loss! I have only met her a couple of times, but she was a sweet and gracious lady everytime.

I was truly saddened to hear of Sue passing. She was always such a wonderful soul. I will remember her sharing her warm smile, her laughter, and her great sense of humor.
She was always so kind and thoughtful to everyone she met. Her family was always her "center" and from that point...Sue and her life just "blossomed". My prayers go out to all her family and a special hug to her loving cousin (and dear friend) John Hogan. Thoughts of John and Sue make my memories of Edsel Ford High School just that much better.
Her ability to share love, kindness and respect with her family and her friends was Sue's great gift to all who knew her. She will be sorely missed and always remembered by all who's life she touched .

I've been friends with Jeff since we played T-Ball together when we were about 7 years old. In the early 90's when I was in college, I called the Hines house looking for Jeffrey. Mrs. Hines told me he wasn't home then asked me how college was going. We ended up talking on the phone and catching up on all sorts of things going on in my life for about an hour. How many moms of your friends cared about you like that? I've never met another person like her. Amazingly interested and supportive of her kids and their friends. Always approachable, accepting, non-judgmental and a true friend. Mike Culver said it best - she made her house feel like the second home to the friends of Jeff and Paul. I will miss her a lot.

I just don't have the words to say how much Sue meant to me, as a boss/coworker and more importantly a friend. She was a big influence on how I conduct myself in the workplace today. I will miss the many "opportunities" she always had that only made me stronger. I am very proud of having been able to call her my friend. She was a true gem that can never be replaced. All my love to Janet, Paul, Lori, Jeff, Maya and the grandkids. She loved and adored you all so much. Carla

Sue-You taught me the importance of respect and dignity and like all those who worked for you at John Hancock/Unicare, you gave me many work opportunities, but the best opportunity you gave me was the opportunity of being my friend. Your caring heart will remain with me always.
I love you old friend.

There are no words to express the sorrow I feel over losing you Suzie Sunshine. You were one of my most favorite people from JH. Thank you for your sincere friendship all these years. Thank you for the visits you made here to St. Louis after I moved. I will forever cherish the friendship we shared. You were a great mom, grandmother, daughter,sister and friend anyone could ask for and I know your family's hearts are broken over losing you. You were so proud of all of them and we had so many great conversations about how your kids and grandkids were doing. I will miss those conversations; I will miss the kibitzing on FB. All I can hope for now, for your wonderful sons is that while God wraps his arm around you and guides you to your eternal life, he will wrap the other one around them and give them the strength they need to grieve their fabulous mother. I love you Sue. RIP. Your friend, Carol Valentini Corbett Payne.

Sue was my manager and co-worker when we worked for John Hancock many years ago. She would always volunteer me for special projects and thanks to her it made me a stronger person. I had great respect and admiration for her and she will be sadly missed. Our loss is heaven's gain. Rest in Peace Suzanne..

Sending my thoughts and prayers to the family and all who will miss her. I came in contact with Sue because we share a love of genealogy. She generously shared family information with me although we are related only through Jeffrey Hines' wife Maya.
My heart goes out to you all.

Mom - signing your on-line guest book for your funeral services is, well, something I never thought about. Likewise, I never really thought about life without you. Just last night, after taking an impromptu picture with my phone of Jeff, Maya and William (all happily smiling and looking at the camera at the same time - a minor miracle), I started typing email addresses of those who I thought would like to have the picture. After addressing the note to Jeff and Maya, I added your email. But then I stopped myself, realizing that you would never see the email. I guess we must all content ourselves with this new reality and hope, somehow, you will always be able to see the joy in our lives. Even if you don't get your emails anymore.
As I type this through a few tears, you should know it was a privilege to be your son. Your generosity of spirit is a tough act to follow. All of us touched by that spirit, me especially, will be inspired by your legacy of unconditional love.
Be at peace.
Love, Paul Blair
