A Treasured Relationship

My relationship with Sue began as her colleague at the San Francisco Water Department over 25 years ago. Sue was the backbone of the Department’s City Distribution Division and I worked for the Customer Service Bureau. The nature of our work caused us to conduct business together or to attend special Departmental functions on occasion. More importantly, it formed the beginning of a grand and respectable relationship.

In 1990, Sue accepted a promotional appointment to a managerial position in the Customer Service Bureau as my assistant. She was very intelligent and an extremely classy lady. She was stylish, an eloquent speaker, and had an air about her that commanded respect. She was a people-person. She had a big gentle heart, yet she was tough. She effortlessly placated the Department’s most demanding customers. She touched and changed many lives for the better. Surely, the world is a better place having been graced with her kindness.

We worked side-by-side every day for nearly 15 years. No one could ask for a better teammate. Over the years, our professional relationship did evolve into an exceptional, dynamic friendship. So strong was the bond, trust, and respect that we had for one another that eventually the relationship surpassed the lines of friendship. Instead, we nurtured and cherished a warm and wonderful sisterhood. We were a special family.

I treasure the laughter.

I miss you, my friend.

I will forever love you, my sister.

Until we meet again…

Peter and Brian,

Your mom was a special lady and friend. She was strong, independent, and classy. She was loved by all who crossed her path. I share your loss and will always remember her.

My prayer for you is that God will give you your mother's strength and faith to endure her loss with "precious memories" embedded in your hearts forever and ever.

Blessings, Jackie Hamm

To Peter, Brian & Family,

You will have my love and support for a life time.

I loved your mom very much, as you all know, we had a friendship that was seamless and unconditional. There are so many wonderful memories that I will hold close to my heart that in turn will keep her close to me. We went through some very tough times but we hung in there and came out them still smiling.

I am honoring your mom, my very dear friend, by following her wishes as she asked to support and just be there.

There will never be another like "Ms Sue".

My Love to You Always,

Jean Dearman

Peter and Brian,

Whenever I think of your Mom warm memories come to mind. She always made me laugh. I remember times of laughing and talking on her bed. Or even watching the high profiled chase on the freeways of Los Angeles. I can picture the house in San Fran almost perfectly. Like I was there yesterday. She was a very strong woman and she made me believe that I could conquer the world. She used to tell me I deserved it. I am thankful that I got to know her and be in her life.

To Peter,Brian & Family,

Our love and support are yours forever more. We loved Sue dearly and will keep her memory alive through the many stories of the good times we have shared, which are too numerous to mention.

She lived, She loved, She laughed & She lost but through it all She exhibited Style, Dignity, Class & Grace as a Bold, Beautiful Black Woman. She was outspoken and organized: doing and requiring our best.

At Mickey & Bennie's 50th Birthday, we have pictures of Sue leading all the ladies on the dance floor dancing to "I'm Not Your Super Woman", but She has always been our “Super-Woman."

We are here to support as instructed, individually & collectively.

Love Always,

Bennie Pal, Bern, Lenita, Mona, Raina & Janeen

My memories of Sue:

"The Three Little Dolls"

Sue, Jean and Gwen

I smile when I think back to when I was a little girl, watching my big sister Jean and her girlfriends, Sue and Gwen. They would get all dolled up for a night out on the town (The Halfnote/Off Plaza). Back then in my eyes they looked like the "Marvelettes" big hair and lots of eyeliner, so cute.......!

I use to babysit little Peter, gee I really loved that little boy. I would ask Sue if I could have Peter, she would laugh and tell me I was to little to keep him but she would bring him back for me to babysit him again. Peter was my little Boo Boo, but now he is all grown up :o)

Boy does time fly and go by quickly.

I will always remember Sue's laugh and her big smile. She was there to comfort me and my family when our father passed away.

I will miss you Sue.

You will always be in our hearts.

Love Always,

Caroline Dearman
