To the Lydon & Evers family's, I heard the news of Susan's passing on Friday, the day after the wake. Joe, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Sue, I didn't know her well but heard so many wonderful stories over the years through you. Being the only girl with all those brothers, couldn't have been easy. Whenever I saw her, she always had a warm smile for me, so genuine. Please know, I am praying for you all, especially for you Lily, it's hard to lose a Mom, especially one as wonderful as yours. May God Bless you all.

I am heart broken to hear of Sue´s passing, she was such a good friend in our days at Blessed Sacrament and still keeping in touch throughout high school. She came to my wedding but it´s been many years since I had actually been in touch with her. I have nothing but wonderful memories of the years we spent at each others houses while growing up, and send prayers to her family, especially her daughter Lily, as they all cope with their loss.

Susan was a golden girl, a dear childhood friend that I looked up to. She was a beautiful person both inside and out. I´ll always remember those endless summer days eating sour cherries on the back porch, crashing our neighbor´s go-cart on Main Avenue and the tireless nights of hide and go seek and kickball in the back lot. She taught me the lyrics to Maggie May and I made her listen to my Partridge Family album. We played Miss Manner´s at her kitchen table while her sweet father served us Spaghetti O´s and malted milk balls. She watched over me, protected me and treated me so wonderfully. I´ll never forget you Sue. You were such a huge part of my childhood. My mom loved your mom and always raved about you and your daughter Lily. May you rest in eternal peace with your loved ones surrounding you. XO.

So sorry to read about Sue´s passing. I worked with her for many years at Albany County Health Department and for a time she sat across from me in the office so we became good friends. She was a real sweetheart and a very hard worker and an excellent nurse.
My condolences go out to her daughter, Lily, and her whole family. May she Rest In Peace. Carol Palmer Coeymans Hollow
