I miss Sue dearly. I worked with her only for a few years, but she made work feel like home. She was a bright soul, easy to laugh with and always welcoming. My heart goes out to her family, she always talked about them. Thank you Sue for our short time together, I will cherish it.

My heart goes out to her family - and everyone else who knew her and loved her. Way too young. I will always remember her as cousin " Susie " - and I never saw her without a smile on her face.

Sue was a dear and special friend and a trusted colleague. It was after she fell ill that I was reminded, again, of how much she did for her people behind the scenes, how much she cared and looked out for each and every one, how she let nothing and nobody fall through the cracks. I loved chatting with her, her candor, the gossip, and that we never had to be politically correct with each other.
Sue, I will miss you sorely, you are unreplaceable and I will always remember you

Frank, Frankie and Allie,
Claude and I are in shock and trying to imagine a world without Sue.
Sue brought so much love and laughter everywhere she went. As you know I worked with Sue several years at Argonne and she was one of the best she always went above and beyond for Argonne and anyone who needed her help. Sue and I became friends because of Frankie´s
Love of Porsches, I took him for his first Porsche ride! We spent several
Labor Day weekends at Road America (So glad we had those weekends and so much fun)
Sue was so very proud of Frankie and Allie and her family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family now and in the days to follow.

So heartbroken and shocked to hear about Suzie. She was my sister Annette's childhood friend and friend/neighbor of the family for many years. Happy memories of pushing Suzie and my sister on the swings will always bring joy of those happy little girls from many years ago. I will never forget her loving kindness and smiling face...always happy and positive nature. Prayers, Love and Heartfelt Condolences to Suzie's family. Grace, Bob, Bobby & Jimmy Fernandez

I am deeply saddened by your sudden departure. I will miss your cheerful disposition, our conversations and the occasional trip to hunt for missing packages while talking about pretty much anything and everything. You have helped me a lot not only professionally but also as a person with your advice. You have enriched all of our lives.
