Condolence: My heart goes out to all of Susan's family at this time. She is not gone as her spirit is with you always and no one knew that better than Susan. I will miss her at Rev Joe's classes but I know she will always be in our thoughts and hearts.
God be with you all.
Love and Light

Condolence: Dear Andrea, Laura, Ron, Bruce, and families,
I can not tell you how so incredibly sorry I am for your loss. I had the good fortune of having known Sue for almost forty years and in that time despite births, deaths, cross country moves and all of life's challenges we still managed to keep in touch and see each other regularly. Sue was devoted to her children and grandchildren and loved you with all of her heart. It never surprised me to open an email with an attachment of Vivian in the latest outfit from her grandmother. Sue was caring, dedicated, hard working and funny. With her razor sharp wit she could sum up a situation accurately and humorously in less than minute. Sue was one of my closest friends and like all her family and friends I will miss her very much.

Condolence: Andrea and Laura and families. I was very saddened to hear about Sue. I immediately thought of our Mom's movie nights, and how she nicknamed me Dorey! Lots of good times at your home. Keep your memories close to your heart and create new memories. Remember those good times. I will. Love you, Kathy.

Condolence: Dear Laura ,Andrea and Families
I wish we could be there to be with you all at this sad time. We will ever be eternally grateful that you took our daughter Jenna into your home and become her second mum.Jenna loved her time in Canada and was lucky to return for Laura's wedding.We loved having Sue stay with us in Christchurch and show her our beautiful city and she had a ball exploring New Zealand.

You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and prayer that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want: smile,open your eyes,love and go on.

with all our love and prayers from The Morris-Williamson Family-Vicki,Howard,Jenna and James

Condolence: To Andrea, Laura, Don, Carol-Anne and their respective families. I am so incredibly sorry for your great loss. Lynne (cousin) has been keeping me updated on Sue's progress. The whole situation is so very heartbreaking.

I have known Sue for several years now and I would always get together with Sue and Lynne when I came home for a visit. I live in Sydney, Australia. My next visit is planned for next year and I was looking forward to seeing Sue and catching up.

Sue is a very generous hearted person who loved her daughters (and husbands), grand children and her newly found biological family very very much. Sue would do anything for them. When Sue came to Australia for Andrea's wedding she made a point of coming to Sydney to see me. We had a great time. Sue did wish that Andrea and Nick did not live so far away however it gave her an opportunity to travel. Sue loved to travel and has had so many great experiences.

Sue, my dear friend, I will miss you. I am glad that you are now at peace and no longer have to suffer. I know that Lynne has been a ongoing support to Sue and her family during this very challenging time. I am glad Lynne has been there for you. If it was not for the distance I would have been there as well.

Sue may you rest in peace. You can now be with your mother whom you talked of fondly and whom you have greatly missed since her passing not those many years ago.

I extend my love, thoughts and prayers to all of you at this time. Andrea have a safe trip back to Brisbane with your two children. May we all celebrate the beautiful person Susan was and will continue to be in Spirit. I will be present in spirit during the memorial for Susan on Thurs the 15th (Toronto time).

Love Janice Knight

Condolence: To Andrea, Laura, Ron , Bruce, Veronica and Arlene
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom and Sister
I thought of her often,getting updates on her health from Veronica
Susan's mother Ruth and my mother Florence were best friends. They met in high school and we're best friends forever.
The Cox and Paterson families would rent a cottage every summer until I was nine or ten years old for two weeks. We had wonderful holidays together. Your Mom and Sister was a very special cousin to me even though we were not directly related.
Sadly, John and I will be out of the country for the visitation and memorial service but our thoughts and prayers are with you all

Condolence: I am very sorry that we have lost Sue. She was a wonderful person, a kind heart. We met Sue through her younger brother, Bruce, my brother-in-law. This is how we met the whole family, the Cox family.

I came to know Sue as a kind, loving person - as a mother, a grandmother, as a daughter and a sister. In all capacities, she was a gentle soul.

She told of of her search for her biological family and the joy she felt in finding and coming to learn who they were. She spoke with love about her two beautiful daughters and her grandchildren. The love she felt for them was palpable. Her family ( both adoptive and biological ) was a source of great joy.

Sue adored her two rescue cats. She happily offered them safety and love.

I will miss Sue. I will miss sitting a talking with her at family gatherings. And Sue will be missed.
