We at the Village Wine Company in GWL are so sorry to hear of Sue's passing. We had not seen her for a while and had no way of contacting her to make sure she was okay. We loved Sue very much and she will be dearly missed. Kind regards Victoria and Andy.

When it comes to Susan it's easy to know where to start. It is her sense of humor. I can't begin to count the number of times we would hang out, have a drink or two, and laugh until our sides hurt. I met Susan at P.O.E.T.S. where she worked and became fast friends. I also remember Kett, who was also blessed with a great sense of humor. Susan and I worked together to host a P.O.E.T.S. reunion party. I was a guest for dinner at her home with her wonderful family. We lost contact after she moved from Bayside, but she was never forgotten. My sincerest condolences go out to Caitlin and her mother, as to Kett and her entire family. I will always remember her as a life force, so loving and fun, mischievous and sweet. Rest in peace Susan.

Susan was a friend of mine from Bayside and Flushing. We lost touch quite awhile ago, but I have thought of her often over the years. She was a great, warm, caring and funny person. She was a great listener with great advice. She always knew exactly what to say. My deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to Caitlin, her Mom and the entire family. Rest in peace my friend!

I am truly saddened to hear this news. I have been thinking of Susan recently. We lost touch years ago. She was such a beautiful person. I have such fond memories of hanging out with her. She was the kindest and funniest person I knew. She always made me laugh and her smile and laugh were infectious. My heart breaks for her family. Rest in Peace Susan.

What can I say......... I love that woman more than anything in the entire world. She was my rock, yes we argued like mom and daughter would. But i would do anything in this world to have her back. Words cant describe the pain that I feel. I'm numb to think that I will never see her again. If i could have her back for just one more day I would tell her over and over again what a wonderful Mom, daughter, sister, aunt, woman, human she really is. She did not have one mean bone in her body. She gave to the world. If she saw anyone outside freezing she would take the shirt off her back for them. She was the strongest woman I have ever met. Mom I love you to the moon and back. Your dogs Ennis and Snugs miss you too. I remember some many times we would sit on my bed and watch Madea and laugh all night long. Or we would sit up late at night and she would tell me stories about growing up, she was a wild one and i am glad that I am hers. There is not a minute that doesn't go by that I don't think of you. I pray you are at peace now and watching over me!!! I know I will see you again its not forever but right now sucks so bad. You are no longer in pain and I thank God for that but I do miss you like crazy. I will never be or feel the same ever again. A part of me has died with you, Mom I love you!!

We have such fond memories of Susan from the vacations, family gatherings and parties we enjoyed with the McKenna and Caulfield families. Susan was one of the older children of the next generation, but made the younger children feel welcome and special. Simply stated, Susan was beautiful, inside and out. She is gone way too soon. May she rest in peace.

I am very sorry for Caitlin, and the entire McKenna family on the premature death of Susan. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers. I have early childhood memories of wonderful time spent with Susan. My life was filled with my father Jim's loving memories of many great times with Susan and the Kett and McKenna family. Jim was Susan's God Father and he truly felt blessed to have had her and her lovely family in his life. Take care of each other. Peace, Maggie

I shall remember Susan as quick and witty, good sense of humor with a warm smile, and big bright eyes with a glint of mischief. Susan had the unique Irish talent for skewering pompous egos. May God be good to her in heaven and bless her family.

I grew up with Susan. She was a great friend with large Irish smiling eyes and a sense of humor that was genius. She was the kind of person that people write books about because there was no one like her. We got into lots of trouble and enjoyed every minute of it. We took Irish step-dancing classes together and whenever we would grab a glimpse of each other on the dance floor we would laugh. We were constantly scolded for laughing. We attended alot of step dancing competitions. She once did a reel and as her foot came up her shoe went flying into the audience. We laughed at that too. We would make up dance routines and dance to them in her basement. We would sing songs and cry. She always prided herself on being able to cry upon request. Our favorite song was "You Better Sit Down Kids" by Cher. Within seconds she would be sobbing. It was pretty amazing really. She was quite the raven-haired beauty and I don't think she ever knew how absolutely gorgeous she was which made her all the more endearing. I loved that girl. She was at one point my very best friend and I adored her. I will always love that big Irish heart of hers and treasure our years together. Keep laughing my friend. Your soul lives on in my heart. See you later.
