I neglected to mention in my message, that one of
Favourite childhood memories, is playing with Susan and her Newfoundland Dog, John Cabot.
He adored her and was always nearby.
Bud and Family, I was saddened to learn of Susan’s passing. I have fond childhood memories, of hanging out at the launch and chip shop with her.
I haven’t seen her often since school but I enjoyed catching up with her, while visiting the Cape.
She was very interested in Pouch Cove Heritage,
and the work that she did, will be important to future generations.
I offer My deepest Sympathy.
My condolences to Sue’s friend and family. She was a very intelligent and insightful person. Our conversations were vast and she always provided wise words to me.
She will be missed.
