Dear Pat and Tony:
Pat, we danced at Sue and Bob's wedding. That night, I met Bob for the first time and enjoyed his humor, especially how he teased Aunt Celia and how she laughed. Tommy Gloster, the father of the bride, is a man no one can forget. Of course, Sue was beautiful, gracious and generous. I treasure the memories of I have of her and your wonderful family. Your cousin John Sudlow, Toronto, Canada.

Hi Pat and Tony,
Your cousin from CA. Sorry to hear the sad news. I am still in a state of shock, as I had no idea there were health issues. But isn't that Susan.
Thinking of the early days when we were all just kids, at the Jersey Shore, are some of my fondest memories.
I wish you sympathy in your time of need and courage to continue on, as you know this is what Susan would want.
Take care and my thoughts are with you.

I met Sue only a few times and thought she was so down to earth and later learned how accomplished she was. Many condolences to Tony and family.
