I’m so so lost.
I’m so so heartbroken….. for you all that are my family, I’m selfish and feel so helpless.
I can’t and don’t want to process my Sue as not being here…I’m sorry I suck. I never want to see a garage sale until the next…..the same way I feel about this next Phase in life….I’m too hollowed right now.
I don’t have pretty words PLEASE forgive me.

Sorry for your loss.
We had the pleasure of working with Sue at Bermo Enterprises.
She was a fun co worker, and just a good person. May she rest in peace.

Very sorry to hear of Sue’s death.
I am one of the very many cousins at the Kettle & Stony Point First Nations.
I was able to see her, and giver her a hug at the community centre when she was there. Was good to see Sonny also.
Going to miss her even thou I was not really close because of the distance where she lived. Praying for the family.
Love Ya All.
