Sue was my best buddy since 5th grade. We shared so many memories I could fill an entire book. Our first crushes, the ups & downs of being roommates for many years, Joni Mitchell music, standing up for each other in our weddings, having our babies..the memories seem endless. What I will probably miss most about my Lil Buddy of 60 years, is her ability to ALWAYS make me laugh. She was the BEST! The world needs more characters like Sue to just make people happy. I miss her terribly & there will forever be a void in my life now that she's gone. Love you so much Lil Buddy. Rest in Peace
Love forever, Ging

Suzy and I had the pleasure to share the joy of her son's wedding to Katrina and then then additions of Nick & Finn! She idolized those little ones. You were definitely a light to those who had the pleasure of knowing you. Prayers to the family, Love Sheila Palazzolo

Smiled until the end. The best mother a boy could've asked for. My best friend. I love you, mom.
