There are no words that can describe the depth of grief I feel right now for my closest friend Susan, I have always consider her my forever friend. We would always joke and say we would take our last breaths together. No one can replace Susan for me because how can you replace 50 years with your best friend. I always had Susie. I could call her everyday for 5 minutes or two hours, which I often did. She sure did save me thousands in therapy because she was always there to coach and guide me. If you are lucky enough in life to have friends it is a gift. If you have a best friend, it is a blessing. She has enriched my life in so many ways. She is truly the sister I never had, so precious. She could light up the room when she walked in with her beauty. Her skin, her face, her hair, she made such a presence... Especially her million dollar smile. Her fashion sense was impeccable which carried over into her keen sense of home decorating and gourmet cooking. Her mom Ellie was a great cook. And then there was her love for music... she almost transcended into a different life force when she had her music, it really was her passion. We laughed together, we cried together, I miss her so much it hurts. We stuck by eachother through all of lifes events, whether it was happiness, sickness, divorce, or death. I was lucky enough to be right in the delivery room, holding her, for the birth of her incredible daughter Lauren. The boundless inexhaustible energy and love and devotion that Lauren has shown in the past two years during Susans illness is one in a million. I literally do not think five children put together could do what Lauren has done for her Mom. She never left her side. She drove everywhere. She bathed her, she slept right next to her, and brought her home cooked meals. She consulted on every detail of Susans care with the Doctors and Nurses. She has done everything she possibly could to help Susan fight this insidious disease. My love and respect for you will never falter. May God look over you and bless you for the rest of your life. I will be honored if you look to me like your second Mom. I love you

Dearest Lauren and Evan,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Mom. I had been out of touch with her these last few years and did not even know she was ill.
As you know, she and I worked at Lowenstein long before both of you were born. I remember attending her baby shower when she was pregnant with you Lauren ~ she was so happy. It was held at our friend Justine DiTrilio's home in Bloomfield, NJ. She was absolutely radiant and over the moon about becoming a Mom.
My heart breaks for the both of you. Your Mom was one of the sweetest and most loving people I have been privileged to know. Her presence would light up a room.
She lives on in you, in your heart and she can never be taken from there. She loved you both beyond measure.
My deepest condolences. Rest in peace dear Sue ~ you left us all too soon.
Love always, Miss Clair xoxoxoxoxox

When I heard of Susan passing I was sadden and upset that this ugly disease has taken another beautiful person from us. Susan had the biggest smile and the most contagious laugh that would light up a room. Our Families shared a big part of each others special occasions weddings, child births, good times at the Jersey Shore and all the thinks friends do together. We take for granted that we will always be able to speak or see each other after long separations, but you never know. May you rest in peace always in our hearts.

To my Dear Aunt Susan:
You have been by my side my entire life. You were such a huge part of everything and I will forever miss you. You fought so long and hard and I was so proud of you everyday. I feel your presence daily and I know you are hearing me when I talk to you. I will always remember your amazing fashion sense and eye for the best house decor. I will treasure the house gifts that you got me and they will always make me smile. You were always there for me when I needed you and it was an honor to be there for you doing this battle. We will take good care of sienna don't you worry! Rest in the sweetest peace. I love you.

We have had the distinct pleasure of knowing Susan for many years.
Her unique laugh, contagious smile, and positive demeanor we're a gift to us.
She was an especially courageous woman who faced life's challenges head on. She will never be forgotten. Rest in peace old friend.

This was a very, very sad day for me. I lost a friend of 40+ years. Sue and I shared many great times in Jersey City, New York City and the Jersey shore. She was in my wedding party and later became my daughter's " godmother". Our families were close and spent a lot of time together. She was my best friend, I could always depend on getting good advice or help in whatever I needed, when the situations arose. We went through good times and some not so good times. But that's what life is about and if you were lucky enough to have a friend like Sue, you would get through it. There came a time when our lives took us in different directions unfortunately. and sadly we lost touch. I thought about Susan all the time. I felt an emptiness. I always wondered about her and Lauren and what they were up to. I missed her and then after a too long of time, we reconnected. It was a very happy time. We both cried on how much time had passed and how that would never happen again. Her children were grown up. I missed most of that. So I vowed to her that would never be allowed to happen again. We cried and cried. Not to much after that , Sue had gotten some bad news about her health, again we cried and cried. Susan never gave up hope. Her daughter Lauren, was by her side the entire time .Just another thing Susan did wonderfully and raised an amazing daughter, Lauren. Something to be truly proud of. We weren't given to much time more with Susan. She fought really hard and finally lost the battle. My heart is broken, and that emptiness is back. But I feel, God got us back together, so I could be in her life and Laurens. My time with them has been great. But cut short.enough. My friend, I will greatly miss you .I know you will be looking down at us all from heaven, I will stay a part of Lauren's life and always be there for her. I won"t say good-bye cause I know , you will be with us every day. I love you, Q, always and forever.

Lauren, Today is the day you will be laid your mom to rest, but you know what they say, God only takes the best. Everything happens for a reason, Even if we may not agree. Just promise to look after yourself and if you can. The thought of never seeing your mom again brings tears to my eyes, but we should never question what God has planned. Sometimes it's not meant for us to understand. So as we sit here and mourn the loss of a mother. Always remember that no one can steal the wonderful memories of you mother. We have to keep telling ourselves that we will meet again. Always remember there isn't going to ever be good bye between you and your mom your connection still lives on although she is far from here., you will miss her more then words can every say and you will always have her in your thoughts and heart as you look above the stars and moon always remember that you can tell her I love you but never goodbye. Lauren God Bless you and your family I have you in my prayers but always remember that you are never alone as God with always by your side to give you strength, peace and to let you know that your mom is doing well.
