My deepest sympathies to Susan, Amy, Stacy and family from your cousin Tom. I will never forget my vivacious Aunt Sue and how she was such a good friend and confidant to my late mother.
We are so sorry to hear of Aunt Sue’s passing. She was always so full of life and fun to be around. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

“Beyond words” best describes my sadness upon hearing the news of Aunt Sue’ passing today. I can picture her face smiling, seemingly always. I remember the sound of her voice, and I remember how she always made me feel good. And in remembering her that way, I do manage a smile.
Aunt Sue was one of the constants in my life and the mother of my favorite cousins. As long as I can remember, she was there. I will miss her deeply.
our deepest sympathies to the Kardish family.
