A lovely woman who died too soon. Her courage in illness was an inspiration. She and I would have been best friends - one of my "sister" cousins - had she lived longer. I still miss her!

To my cousins Bev, Bobby, Earl, Rick, Tom, Michael and the boys. I read the news on the internet of Susan's passing and from what I've read and seen she passed from cancer or an infection. I am sorry for your loss and I will pray that her eternal soul rests in the loving family we all have on the other side.

My friend Sue,
You were braver and stronger than anyone could have possibly imagined.
I prayed every day. I prayed that you would get better, I prayed that your lungs would be strong, I prayed that your heart would stay strong, I prayed that you would find the strength to walk on your own, I prayed that you would keep your appetite, I prayed that you would be able to hold your head up straight, I prayed that you wouldn't shiver anymore, I prayed that the medicines and machines would work. I prayed for the many doctors that were treating you, I prayed that you would be able to go home, I prayed that you would share your life with your children, I prayed that you would see your grandchildren. When those prayers weren't answered, I prayed that you wouldn't suffer anymore, I prayed that you would be in peace, I prayed that God would finally take you and end your pain. Those prayers were answered and I know that you aren't hurting anymore.
You were my friend.
We shared stories, laughs and secrets. I held your hand, I carried your weak body when you couldn't and now I will carry you in my heart every day for the rest of my life.
I am truly devastated that you are gone.
Thank you for your friendship.
I love you and I miss you terribly.
Christine

"No matter how hard I try,
I always think that with each new
Hello, there will be a goodbye.
When I was young, I didnt really
care. Now as I grow older,the goodbyes
become harder and harder.
Its so hard to let go of a best friend.
But time gives you no choice.
I only know, that as I grow older,
and when things go wrong, and I get lonely,
I can always think back, remember, and smile."
31 years ago, when I was leaving for college, Sue included that poem in a scrap book she made about our friendship. It meant a lot to me then, but, now I consider it a treasure, as I did her friendship. I will never forget the good times with Sue, and her laugh, which I loved hearing. At the time she gave me the poem, we were saying goodbye to one chapter of our lives. Even though distance kept us from seeing each other as much as we wouldve liked, it never broke the connection in our hearts. And even though I have to say goodbye, Sue will remain alive in my heart forever.
Beve and Earl, thank you for making Sue the beautiful person she was and for sharing her with me. Rick, thanks for being an amazing little brother and for doing all you could to try and keep Sue with us. You and your parents are amazing. Daniel and Steven, your mom loved you with everything she was. She will always be with you. My love to you all in this difficult time.

Sue was such a good friend to me as far back as the second grade. My fondest memory of her was her witty sense of humor. Although, as we got older, we only spoke on the phone once or twice a year, they were always conversations filled with laughter. My sincere condolences to her family. She will be greatly missed.

Our beautiful and loving daughter was taken from us too early in life.The last months of her life will be remembered with joy as she fought so diligently to get well and return to her precious sons. She never lost her sense of humor while undergoing treatments that grown men would not be able to endure. She looked forward to Daniel's high school graduation and his going to college. She would have raised Steven with love and compassion. Her family loves her and will miss her forever. Well done,Susan Marie

December 29, 2010

To my Auntie B, Uncley Earl and Rick, thank you so very much for your huge support in Sue's fight. Although in recent years geography kept us from being closer to Sue, we all will miss her dearly. What's warming to me, though, is the special bond Sue and my mom had, and that they are together again. Rest in peace Sue, god bless.
The Robertson Family.

When I think of Sue, several things come to mind. Her warmth, sincerity, generosity, compassion, her unwavering support for the Hudson Valley Renegades, her enjoyment of the Halloween Phantom prank, Daniel's fantastic birthday parties, her uncanny ability to win baskets at fundraisers etc. etc. but mostly her devotion to her boys Daniel and Steven. The boys were blessed to have Sue as their mother, and may she rest in peace with the knowledge that Mike will continue to raise them with that same devotion and to be with them every step of the way.

Susan's sons were her pride and joy. She wanted to live so badly. Her parents and brother did everything possible to help her do so but unfortunately, her immune system could not take any more. We were with her for 13 weeks following her from hospital to hospital. Everyone loved her. We are devastated.
