  7. Sue was a dear and trusted friend and colleague who worked with me at Edison University and in Governor Florio’s Office in New Jersey. Sue joined me at the College in 1986 Sue never had a bad word for anyone and she always provided good advice if asked Sue always had Kathy and Daniel on her mind They were always a great joy that would bring a sparkle to her eye if you asked how they were doing. My deepest condolences from my wife Marcia and my daughters Kristy and Lauren

  8. Dear Cathy & Dan, how heart breaking it was for me to learn of your mom’s passing. We haven’t been in touch for the last year or two so I didn’t know she was ill. She & I sat across from each other when I first started at TESU (then TESC) and she was my “mentor & friend” during that time. I always knew I could turn to her whether it be for college info, or just plain help! I remember the stories of your dad, and you two. I missed her when she moved, but I do remember how happy she was when you got your railroad job, Dan,(although it moved you away) and when Cathy finally decided to move out to PA to be with her. Please accept my deepest condolences. We’ve all lost a very, very special lady.

  9. What a joy to have worked with Sue, she was always up, never had a bad word to say about anyone. Worked with her for 3+ years @ G.M.R.C. Totally relied on Sue to translate Mike’s hieroglyphics. She was a Game saver as the Commissions’ administrative assistance and would have been a heck of a cryptographer.
