Wow, 10 years! I miss you just as much now as I did then, maybe even more. I know Debbie is keeping you and nonny company. It was comforting to know that you and nonny were there to welcome her!

Eight years....sometimes it seems so long ago, at times it seems like yesterday. And yes, you were definitely right about one thing...getting old isn´t for sissies.
Always in my thoughts and prayers.
Love you!

So sorry sweet Sue has been gone for so long. These anniversaries are difficult. I´m hoping you can celebrate her wonderful life by doing something together in her honor today. It is difficult to turn a sad day into something positive. Know this more than you can realize because my daughter died two years ago. Prayers sent to all of you!

As your family and friends say good-bye, they know they have a special angel watching over them now. You touched so many lives and did so much for so many people. I cherished my friendship with you. I chose you to be my daughter Sara Christine's godmother and often think about our heart to heart talks and how you were the person who guided me to be the person I am today. It was an honor to know you and I will miss you, but I will always have you in my heart. Debbie, Helen, Patti and Gloria, I do not have to tell you what a wonderful person your mom was. I am just glad that you were able to share her with so many others.She will be missed. Love, Charlene

To Sue Palma's Family: It was indeed sorrowful to hear of Sue's death. I remember her during my childhood years on Paris Street in East Boston. She was friends with all of my sisters. I remember her to be fun to be with. She was always there for my family. I will remember her and her family in my prayers.

I would be with you, but am out of state. From East Boston Camps, to Holy Redeemer Parish, to my first experience of Italian fish at Christmas Eve, knowing Sue was an adventure. Did she ever tell you that I took her to class at U Mass on the back of my motorcycle? I will be remembering her and all of you at Mass.

Very sorry to hear of Sue's passing. She inhabits some of my fondest memories of my youth running in and out of the Social Center. I was a high energy kid and she always showed patience with me. If that didn't work, she showed me the door! A true champion of all things Eastie. May she Rest In Peace.

Dear Aunt Sue, although we didn't have too much time together because of our distance, I will treasure all the talks we had on the phone and cards sent over the years to each other. I know how much you loved the family and were so proud of everyone. Your greatest joys were being a Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. You will deeply be missed. God bless you. Love your nephew, Kevin
