  4. Andrea and family…So sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Hugs and prayers to all of you…Marianne Gilham

  5. I worked as a certified nursing assistant on the 6th floor of WMC. I remember taking care of Sue Sue on a couple occasions. She was such a sweet lady. Her and her husband both were such a lovely couple. You could definitely see the love between them. She never had a mean word to say to me. I enjoyed talking with her and helping her with her care. I completely understand why she was named, Sun Sue. Because no matter how bad she may have been feeling; She always had a bright sunny smile on her face when I walked into her room. You will be sadly missed Sun Sue… Rest In Peace ☀️ 💔

  6. Andrea, many prayers for you. Your parents and sister are reunited and can you imagine their joy🙏🏻. I pray God will comfort you through your loss and keep you smiling every day with a wonderful memory of your family. God Bless, Brian Macaluso and family.
