Scott, Patrick, Tyler & Sue´s family,
I met Sue around 10 years ago when one of my clients (I´m a realtor and a Wedding officiant) rented the cottage. I went over to visit the client and that´s when I met your Mom. Instantly I liked her because I thought she´s full of energy so much fun. And then she told me she decorated the cottage by herself, and I was gob smacked. I love Art and just fell in love with the way she decorates. and so we got to chatting in over the years we chatted more and different clients of mine would stay there and I always thought she was great. The best fun was when I find out she was good friends with a gaggle of girls I grew up with known as the Hogan sisters I went all through school with them. As I´m not out and about town a lot socially I didn´t run into much other than when I would go over to the cottage or I think the Hogan and I and her got together one time and I think that was like very early in the relationship and anyways we always had a nice relationship and I will miss her greatly. She was always so cool on the move and getting things done and that´s what I always appreciated about her. And of course she was fun to be with. I know so many people who are mourning her passing, and I too more than her passing. I am deeply deeply sorry for you guys. I meant one of you early on when she brought me over to the house. Can´t remember which one it was although it might´ve been Tyler because my maiden name is Tyler. please accept my deepest condolences for your loss.. your mom was a wonderful person!

May the love of your family and friends hold you up during this very sad time. If you ever need any help with anything, just give me a call.
There´s an old Eskimo proverb that reads..." Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."
So look up to the heavens when you wanna connect with your Mom.

To Sue´s family, you have my deepest sympathy for your loss.
I am proud to say, I have been friends with Sue since our days in college at CCSU. I will miss her very much, as we have had some very memorable good times throughout the years.
