Don, Jordyn, Jillian, Katie, John & family-you had a beautiful service yesterday for Sue, one I will never forget. The decorations in the church combined with the readings, music and John's eloquent speech were so beautiful, just like Sue was, inside and out. I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to team teach with her-and laugh- for 2 years! We had so much fun and there are so many stories and memories I have to cherish. I was always a little jealous because Sue had more off-color jokes than I did! I loved Sue and will miss her, but know she's in a beautiful play and will be your angel watching over all of you. It was my honor and privelege to be one of Sue's friends. Jody Tantillo
My heart goes out to you, Don, Jordan, Jillian and family. Sue was a treasure, a rare find indeed. Knowing her was a gift, whether it was as a teacher, union rep, baseball mom, dance mom, or bowler. Many wonderful memories have been lifting me over the past few days. One of the best was at a bowling banquet - we were in the teachers' bowling league together. Our team had finished in last place, no surprise there. Sue and I and a few others had convinced our friend Reggie White that the last place team had to go and congratulate the first place team captain, EY Gilkey, before the banquet could end. So we sent poor Reggie up to the head table. As soon as he got up there we erupted in laughter. If I'm not mistaken, it was Sue's idea and the rest of us joined in on it. She was always ready for that type of (mis)behavior. God Bless you, my dear. Thank you for so many wonderful memories that will be cherished by us all. I will see you soon.
My heart was sadden when I heard the news of Sue passing my condolences to Don and the children. I thought she was so cute I use to baby-sit her daughter when she was a baby. May God comfort her parents and all the family. Don may God give you strength thru this difficult time.
Monica, Peter and Family,
Heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beautiful daughter, Suzanne, may she rest peacefully in the arms of our Lord.

For so many years now, Sue has added fun and beauty to our neighborhood. Her gorgeous gardens, her flair for decorating, her delicious zucchini bread, and of course her spicy sense of humor and passion will never be forgotten. Our hearts go out to Don, Jordan and Jillian and the whole family. We will miss her deeply,
The Alberts
