Oh Susan! A life time of friendship with more smiles than tears, a lot more remembering how we survived the crisis of the moment with some sort of game plan for tomorrow, the Stop and Shop aisles will never be the same without bumping into you for some quality catch-up conversation. Rest in His peaceful arms as I know you will still continue to watch over your family. I will miss you my friend.

Dear Susan; It's so hard to believe that we won't be seeing you're smiling face on our visits to Ct. I will always remember our talks on Mom's back porch. You always gave so much of yourself to everyone you knew, with care, kind words, a hug and true concern for their well being,while never asking for anything in return.You are so very loved and will be deeply missed. May God bless and keep you always.
