I am so sorry to hear of Sue’s passing
🙏🙏🙏
I will miss Sue’s sweet, loving view of life-always a kind word, and positive thoughts for all.
She truly had a special connection with babies and Moms, and I know she will be missed and remembered by all those she has helped along the way.
Praying for the boys and hope their grief is tempered by the the wonderful memories they share of their Mom.
I am so sorry to hear about Sue. Many prayers for her boys and the White family. Thinking of you Carol and will always have many fond memories of your family.
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Sue. She will always be remembered as a kind and loving person. She helped me so much when Nicole was born prematurely. She was a true friend. We will always remember her help and love. We pray for her boys and daughter in laws. May the Lord bless you all and console you.
Sue you will be dearly missed by myself and hundreds of other people. You were a wonderful friend and neighbor when I lived on your street. My heart goes out to all of the family. You made such a wonderful impact on the world. May you now be at peace with your husband.
R.I.P. Susan.

So sad to hear about Susan.
So heartbreaking to learn of the sudden passing of Sue. She was a strong woman with a caring heart and a love of life.
I am so sorry to read of Susan’s death. I worked with her at St Luke’s and she was a wonderful coworker. She was funny, spontaneous and loved her sons. Just thinking if her now makes me smile.
Condolences to all who loved her. Terry Blase
