Dear Gary, Lauren and I did not learn of Sue's passing until this weekend and were deeply saddened. You both made such a difference in our welcome to Mettatuxet. We will miss Sue's smile, great disposition and her willingness to "jump" in to make things better. We send our thoughts and prayers to you, Grya and Jamie.

Over the last few month's I had the privilege of caring for Susan while she was at Women & Infant's. Her courage, grace and strength were amazing to witness. I'm sure her loving, spirit will live on in all who knew her. She will be sadly missed by all of us at W&I. Gert, I hope someday I have a friend as devoted and caring as you were for Susan.
With Sympathy,

Richard & Sandy,
I know what it is like to loose a loved one. Rich I know every time you are out playing golf you will not be in a FOURSOME but Susan will always be playing with you. We were both blessed with having sister Susans and both school teachers. I know she will have many students who will be thankful they had her as a teacher. Prayers are with you and your family.

Susan was the youngest of the St. Sauveur children. She had a wonderful life as a child, as a wife, and as a professional. Her joys were golf and horses; her loves were her family and animals and not just her animals. There is nothing so sad as to lose a life that was useful and joyous. Nevertheless, death will come to us all. There is comfort in simple faith and wonderful memories. Her family loved her. She will be missed.
