To all the Cipriani family, I am truly saddened by the news of Sue's passing. She was a wonderful help to me in the County Attorney's office for all those many years, with the perfect temperament for dealing with all of us lawyers. I saw her back in June of this year when I was back up in Troy, making a point to stop in the office when I knew she would be there, and it was great to see her smile again. She was a wonderful person, wife, mother and friend to many, and she will be missed and remembered by all who knew her. Please accept my sympathies on your loss.
