Steve, Charlie, Page & Tommy,

I've just learned of your mother's passing and am so sorry for your loss. Sue was a kind and special lady who did a fine job in raising four wonderful children. My thoughts are with each of you and your families.

On behalf of the Congregation of Beth Israel, the community is deeply saddened to hear of Sue’s passing. Her contributions and dedication to others will be long remembered. On a personal note, I recall the advice she gave me when I was 12 years old – some 15 years ago now – that one should always make the best of the time we’re given. She was an exceptional person and will always be remembered as such to those who who new and loved her.
