Sue was one of the kindest, women I’ve ever known. Praying for Vince, Jenny, John & all her friends & family.
As Sue’s cousin here in the UK I can say distance does not remove the pain of loss. I remember those times when Sue came over to us for family get togethers. She had a fabulous smile as big as her heart.
Sending love, hugs and prayers from across the Atlantic. Love Sheila xx
I had the pleasure of being Sue’s roommate in rehab after I suffered stroke complications. She was truly an amazing person. I admired her loving spirit and giving nature. I will miss her sorely and I pray for Vince and the family at this very difficult time. May you find comfort and peace.
I have known Vince for more than 50 years and Sue for more than 30. She loved visiting the Dunedin, Florida breweries (where I live) for pub crawls! I will miss her, and keep Vince and the kids in my prayers. May our Lord grant them comfort and peace in the days ahead.
I was incredibly saddened to hear about the passing of Sue.
Sue was always so kind, friendly, thoughtful and fun to be around. She had a contagious smile and laughter.
It was an honour and privilege to have known her and worked with her.
I will never forget all the good times we shared. Especially after work. Going for beers next door at the Holiday Inn and other craft breweries.
The good times we had and the laughter we shared are memories I will always cherish.
I will always remember Sue as being such a Great Friend.
She will truly be missed…🩷
Sending Love and Prayers to Vince, Jenny and John 🩷🙏🏼💕 My heart goes out to your family for your immense loss.
Vinny and family, my heart aches for your loss.
You are thought of and loved. ❤️💔
We are sad to learn about the loss of Sue. She was a wonderful person and truly dedicated to her family. Nancy and I send our love and prayers to Vince, Jenny, and John.
I just learned about Sue’s passing and honestly am shocked. We lost touch about 5 years ago when moved to Charlotte. Sue was my supervisor and became a very good friend back in 2000. All we needed to do was look at each other and crack up laughing. She was so fun to be around. Wow. Well SuzyQ save a place for me. Love you. Love to Vince, Jenny, and John John.
