  • I was fortunate to talk to my sister before she passed away. I shall miss her and will always remember the wonderful times that we had together. Sue had lots of potential and loved her work at the Pinawa Hospital where she spent over twenty years, working in various nursing fields. She loved her family and was a good mother and wife. Sue will always be in my prayers for being the best sister. - Posted by: Jane Glennon (Sister) on: Feb 22, 2014

  • "Suzie" was a very close friend. She was always genuinely concerned for the well being of her family and friends. You never went hungry at her house and she always had a sympathetic ear when you had a problem. We had many a good laugh over the years and shared a lot of good times. She was a true friend. I had been in to the hospital to visit her shortly before her last day and as always she did not want anyone to worry about her. She said to me " I am okay Will. Please do not worry about me as I am fine. Eddie comes every day and we spend time together and he helps me, so don't worry, I am okay." She was concerned that people would be upset that she was in hospital and reassured them that she was fine, this was how she was. I will miss her terribly and wish her God's speed to her eternal rest. Good bye Suzie. - Posted by: William LInklater (Family friend) on: Feb 15, 2014
