Memories and Condolences
for Susan Brendlen
July 14, 2011
I remember going for walks with Sue and we had such a great time looking at all the new plants and trees. Especially the time we saw the Egrit on Egrit Way! that was sure weird and probably the funniest thing I've ever seen!
I can't believe it's been been 7 months already since you've left us. We all in the neighborhood miss you greatly! Love and miss you. JILL WWILKINSON

We will miss Susan's kindness, smile, and humor. Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss. I was fortunate to call Susan my Aunt.

To Sue's family--I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Sue from Kaiser and she was a great nurse and lovely woman! We saw each other after she retired when Cale and my nephew, Scott McCoy, played on the same All-Star team.
I am hopeful that memories of happier times will help comfort you during this sad time.
Sincerely--Peggy Kolb Aaron

Unless there is more than one "Larry Brendlen, avid sailor," I worked with you at HP during the Trimble days. And I have not forgotten your passion. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy upon the passing of your beloved Susan. May you and your family be comforted knowing that others care.

Larry - I'm so sorry to read about your wife's death. I live in Phoenix now but think of you whenever I see a sailboat.
My sympathy is with you and your family

Larry and boys,
We were your neighbors at 1360 Flicker Way when we were all moving into our neighborhood of new homes in the early sixties. You may remember us- Jack and Mary Bookie and four daughters, Marilynn, Evy, Kathy and Renee. I believe my oldest sister Marilynn used to baby-sit for the boys when they were little. We remember Sue as a lovely young woman in her late 20's and 30's while we lived on Flicker Way. It was always comforting to know we had a competent nurse not far away. We hope that you had a wonderful life together and that the memories you cherish will keep her close to you forever. She will ive on through you, the boys, and all those whose lives she touched her many years here. We lost our dad, Jack two years ago this month at age 91, and our mom is 87 and doing very well. We are all still in the area, Cupertino, Los Gatos and Saratoga........May Sue be at peace and may you all find comfort in the love and support of family and freinds.
Kindest regards,
Your old neighbors, The Bookies
