Dear Ross, Jeff, Tim and Jenni, and all the family,
I am so so sad to hear of Sue’s passing. I have such special happy, fun and fond memories of my time living with your family 33 years ago. Sue was so special and so kind to me. A wonderful loving, caring and calm mother. I learnt so much her and from my time with you all, it is a special chapter in my life. My love, sympathy, and big hugs go out to you all.
With lots of love Lizzie, Charley, Rebecca and Dominic xxxx
I am so sorry to hear of Susan’s death. I knew her as a kind and caring person when I dealt with her as a client at CIBC. Please pass along my condolences to the entire family and in particular, to Brenda, who I worked with.
With much sympathy, Susan Dobie

I was sorry to read that Susan has died. She was a wonderful parent to work with at GNS. Her goal of doing a great job as a Mother was reflected in her three children who were well liked, talented, and a pleasure to work with at school. Condolences also to the Brambley family.

Susan is a great loss to the Performing Arts Festival as a Board member, a committed section head and as a general repository of knowledge. She will be missed by all of us. We will especially miss her warm smile. But I know her loss to you her family is much greater. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Dear Ross, Tim and family,
Our deepest condolences to you and your family . We are thinking of you at this difficult time and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Our memories of the great times our family’s shared are the legacy that Sue left us, none better than skiing at Silver Star and the finals of training when Sue set the standard for the rest of the Damp Pants team.
Her smiles and laughter and love will live on with us.
Thanks Sue
