Sue and I worked together for many years at Paxinosa. She always loved coming to my room to help me out. She always talked about her sons and grandchildren and how proud she was of all of them. When I visited with her recently you could tell she was in pain. I offer my sympathy to her sons and families.

My sympathy to Sue’s family. Joyce Cohen, Sandy Ferrante, Larry Wohlbach and I used to get together with Sue for lunch. We all worked together at Paxinosa. Sadly we drifted apart and only recently have reached out to Sue to join us for lunch again. We were disappointed she did not join us but we did not realize she did not feel well enough. In my phone conversation with her we reminisced about our days in the Paxinose kindergarten and all our fond memories of the people in the building, her trips to the casinos with Larry and Joyce, and her family. She told me her family was what she lived for. May she rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to Matthew and Scott in the loss of your mother. My mother, Rose (Bilder) LoPresto, was a beloved sister of Vincent Bilder and, as a family, we shared some special times with your mother when she (and you) were very young. Sue was a beautiful and warm young lady, and, although we lost contact, we feel a family connection and treasure the meaningful comments shared by her friends in life. You share a name with some wonderful people, especially your grandfather, Vince. Be assured our condolences are heartfelt.
