Sue HIGGINS

Suzy,
When I heard that Alderman Sue Higgins had died, my thoughts immediately went to you and Eve as you mourn the loss of your mom and grandmother. At Kym's place, you and I chatted at various times over the last couple of years about your mom, her illness, and your family and I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you. Though I never met your mom, I've come to have a better sense of her and her life not only through you, but also through the public reactions to her death. The dog park being named in her honour especially touches me. I hope these wonderful memories and your own offer you comfort as you grieve. —My sincere condolences.

In Memory of a Truly wonderful life so very well spent. A mentor and positive example to all Women. Will be sadly missed.

To my dearest old school friend, Sue Jr, how sad I am to hear the loss of your wonderful Mother. I to have suffered the same loss recently and can truly feel your what sadness you and your family now suffer. It was only yesterday that we sat in your Moms kitchen doing our homework together and enjoying her tremendous personality. I've never known anyone more energetic and giving and doubt I ever will. Your in my thoughts and prayers. All my Love to you and yours. I would love to hear from you Suzie. Pauline

Sue was truly an amazing person who touched the lives of so many. We in the naval community in Calgary were fortunate to know her. She gave us her wisdom and strong support and we always had the greatest respect for her.

Heartfelt Sympathy to all of her family,

I met Sue when she became my roommate in the hospital. I liked her instantly. Her candour, sense of humour and caring were a welcomed change of pace during a difficult time. My deepest condolences to her family on their loss. She will be truly missed by all.

To the Higgins and Corns Family
Please accept sincere sympathy is the loss of your dear mother, grandmother, sister in law and Aunt.
I honor her great service to the community but most of all, her love and caring for her family.

A butterfly flies beside us
like a sunbeam,
For a moment it's beauty belongs to our world,
Then it flies on, and though
We wish it could have stayed,
We feel so lucky to have seen it.

Sue-you were one of a kind.You always made time for me when I called you for a comment and you always knew your stuff. I was confident the city was in good hands when someone of your caliber was siting on council. You made covering city hall interesting and fun. It was an honour working with you. Your did one heck of a job and now it's time to rest. To the family my prayers and deepest sympathy. Sincerely-Bill McFarlane (former CFCN News Reporter)

Sue was a unique and wonderful personality
She made politics fun and a calling of integrity and commitment

I am so sorry to hear about your mom! I spent so much time at your house, in the kitchen, never the living room! Your mom was a wonderfully strong woman and she will be missed. Her legacy will live on.

Please accept our deepest condolences - Sue Higgins was one of the best, in an era when women had to fight for every step and she did it with grace and strength. You come from feisty, honourable blood with Sue as your matriarch.

Dear Suzy, Maureen and Lyn,

So sorry to hear about your dear mother. She was a great lady and one I came to admire and respect. I will be with you both in spirit and prayer this Saturday morning. God bless you and your loved ones…

Love,

Dave Piche

Sue Higgin's greatest gift to me, a complete stranger, was the knowledge that one voice, one solitary person, can make a difference. She cared, passionately, about the growing city and gave so much of herself to its development. She lent colour and character to the proceedings at City Hall.

Deepest sympathy to the Higgins family.
Truly, one of a kind.

to the family of Sue Higgins - we send our sincere thoughts of sympathy - from all your friends at the Southern Alberta Pioneer Association.
Sincerely,
Kerri Fipke, President

A grand lady in all aspects of her life. She will be missed the many who were blessed to have known her.
