Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Matt, We are very saddened to learn of the passing of your mother. Please know that our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
I was so sad when I learn of the passing of Sue. I have nothing but wonderful childhood memories of her. She was quite energetic, loving, and always genuinely caring and considerate of others. I sometimes reflect on the fun times at her house on the edge of College Hill Park. She is and will be missed by me, I only wish I could have been able to have my daughter and grandchildren meet her and know what a great woman she was. I’m sorry that I have been unable to come and visit the family, but you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I love you all.
