I have so many fond memories of time spent with Sue, either at our homes, volunteering at the aquarium, going for walks at Bluff Point, or traveling to Bonaire, there was always fun to be had.
Will forever miss you girlfriend.

I will always remember Sue and her cats from when I worked at the Noank Veterinary Hospital. She had a beautiful heart and I am so sorry for your loss.

I had Miss Steiner in 6th grade at Noank School. She was a good, caring teacher who helped us to use our imaginations. Our 6th grade trip to NYC was the best and began a desire to visit New York many times since that trip. I have all good memories of being in her class. My condolences to her family and friends. May she Rest In Peace.
