Dear Pauline, Les & family,
So many words in our language, so many words to share about Susan, yet somehow,none of them fit when you give back to God your child who should have outlived you both, her parents. I grieve for you & with you, that you have to carry the same cross and travel the same journey that i have carried since i gave my Rena back to God almost 19 yrs ago. You all are such a wonderful, good,united & strong family whom i have admired & loved for many many years. Therein lies your strength ! I will be in touch with a more formal letter to you and the girls. Tell Nina i have more for her & to share with her about the SAINTS since our last time at the restaurant in september. May God's Grace cover you & hold you like a warm blanket and bring you PEACE. Although I have never meet Ray, he must be a great guy to have such beautiful kind daughters and Susan as his wife. You all have our deepest sympathy and much love, Chris & Carl Zewe, Adam & Kyra(Petro) Zewe

Dearest Tedesco Family - I am one of the MOMS from St. Thomas More, and I was very saddened to hear of Susan's passing into eternal life at such a young age. I thought you might find some comfort in this verse, which Susan hails to you from Heaven. It is St.Paul's Farewell to the Ephesian Elders:
"I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace." (NIV)
I didn't know Susan, but understand that she was a very selfless and caring person. I'm sure that when she met our Lord He said to her, "Well done my good and faithful servant."
May your days be filled with wonderful memories and peace in the understanding that you will see your beloved Susan again one day.
God Bless You. God Keep You.

Dear Uncle Ray, Sarah, Maria, and Nina,
I am so sorry for your loss.
Sending a gentle hug your way, to comfort you, and to let you know that you’re on my mind and in my heart today and always.
“She was so very, very special
And was so from the start
You held her in your arms
But mainly in your heart
And like a single drop of rain
That on still waters fall,
Her life did ripples make
And touched the lives of all.
She's gone to play with angels
In heaven up above
So keep your special memories
And treasure them with love
Although your darling Mother/Wife
Was with you just a while
She'll live on in your heart
With a sweet remembered smile.”
Love,
Amanda Repasky

Dear Sarah, I am sorry for the loss of your mother. She is the most genuinely caring person I've known. The selfless way she cared for you, Maria, Nina, Ray and her parents is what defined her. I still see her smiling face and remember all the fun we had when you and Bonnie were going through school, all the laughs, the trips to Cedar Point and Great Bear Lodge, our evenings out to dinner. I know you and Bonnie are always in touch but please know that I am here too, and call or come over anytime.
God bless all of you,

We loved her as our neighbor. She was so cheerful and always stopped when driving by to say hello. When the dog was young, the girls would "accidentally" let it loose, and Susan tried to act exasperated when chasing it, but she couldn't help laughing because Nina and Maria were giggling so very hard. You all have something many people don't get - the most wonderful memories of a wonderful woman who loved you so much. We send you our love.
