HI Baby, this will be our 2nd Christmas and New Years without you. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, especially during the holidays. We had hoped that this last year would have been a year just for healing, but naturally things do not go always as planned. The girls put together a very moving celebration of life for you in late April and friends and family came to pay their respects and fond memories of you. It was a very uplifting day, and the girls did you proud. Not long after I ended up in the hospital with a blood infection and needed surgery to replace 2 valves, so we both ended joining the zipper club. If it wasn't for the girls and cousin Joanne and Reggie not sure I would have made it through the ordeal. I did 3 month of Cardio PT and am keeping myself trim, watching what I eat and exercising regularly. I take Magic on 2-3 mile walk every morning and he won't eat breakfast if I don't!! I feel great and everyone tells me I look great, but I basically need a new wardrobe as all my clothes are to big on me. I went to Michael and Laruens wedding in Dec, I know how much you wanted to go. With me gone the girls and guys did the fecemille and struffeli and did you proud. The girls surprised me with Casadada on Xmas morning, they were great. I have been pretty lonely and while no one can replace you I need to have someone to care for. I hope you understand, there will never be another you but faith has dealt us this hand. I love you always.

Dear Lori & Family - I bumped into Mary Anne Collins at a wedding last night. I asked after your family and if she was still in touch with you all, and that's when I learned that your Mom had sadly passed away last year. I am so very sorry to hear this. I remember her fondly from my childhood days playing at your house in Sea Cliff. Whenever I drive past your old street (Fairview Place) it always makes me smile. I remember your Dad, too, and the cat he named after Lawrence Taylor. Hopefully he is still rooting for the NY Giants even though you are all living in North Carolina now. I will definitely say a prayer & light a candle for Mom at church tonight.

Baby today would have been our 48 Wedding Anniversary. I remember our wedding day and how beautiful you looked,  We started a life together, an adventure that brought us 2 beautiful daughters, and took us from NY to CT to NC. You handled all the moves with your beautiful smile and grace. I love you dearly.  I think of you every day. The girls don't want me to be alone today, and tonight we will have dinner together. I miss you so much, it hurts all the time. It is hard to explain to others, but our friends are always reaching out.  I love you.

A day doesnt go by where I do think about you and miss our calls. I just want to pick up the phone. A year ago was the last time I saw you. I am so grateful and thankful for that visit while at the same time, knowing it was the last one is so difficult to still at times process. You know I speak to the kids and Frank.... You are so deeply missed and will always be. Everyone gets by but on certain days its a struggle. You continue and will continue to be loved and missed...

Hi Baby, it is 2021 and it was the first New Year in 50 years that I was not with you. I miss you so much. I went to Lori and Kevin's for dinner, was home by 9.30. Lori did not plan on being up for midnight. Lara called at 12 to tell me she loved me.  Going to Lara and Juniors today and I made your Pasta Fagioli to bring over to keep the tradition going. Hopefully it came out as good as yours. Not sure what 2021 holds in store but it cannot be any worse than 2020 and losing you. I love you Suzy and miss you. All my love

t is Christmas Eve Baby and it will definitely be a Blue Christmas Without You. The girls wanted to honor you by celebrating Christmas the way you loved to. So we decorated the house, and they did their Xmas Cookie making fest, I helped as best I could, I made the mistake of trying to decorate the tree ( your job) by myself! It took a half a box of tissues to get through it. Because of Covid we skipped our annual last minute shopping and dinner and the boys missed not wrapping gifts with Mom. Instead we got together and had dinner. Lori and I made the Facemilli and Lara and I did the Strouffil. Forgot how wet the Struffil dough is at first and thought we had messed it up, as your recipe says it needs to be needed!! Both came out great and you would be so proud of them. I made the seafood salad and cut it down a little but it came out very good. They should all be here early this afternoon and we will be thinking of you all day and especially tomorrow. Christmas will never be the same but the kids are doing their best to make it like you loved it. Love you Suzy and Merry Christmas

Happy Thanksgiving Baby.... it was our first withoutyou and all day there seemed to be something missing. your beautiful smile and laugh. Girls wanted to do Thanksgiving the way you always did, so we all did different portions of the sides you usually made. Everyone came through and made youproud. I had your special gravyand surprised the hell out of myself. The day was nice but will never be the same, The kids are going to the mountains to get the Christmas Trees and they helped me decorate the house 2 weeksago.. I miss you more every day, Magic is beinga good boy and this weekend we will have Tula. I love you and miss you.. God Bless

Happy Thanksgiving Baby, it is our first without you. Not sure how or if I will get through the day. Girls wanted to celebrate the holiday like you always did, since it is your favorite time of the year. So we split up your recipes. I think I did justice to your famous gravy. The kids came over and we decorated the house, but it is just not the same without you. Both Lori and I had dreams about you the other night and it always make us feel closer and better. Cannot wait for 2020 to end and hopefully, next year will be some what better. I miss you so much. Love you Baby God Bless!

Happy Birthday Baby! It has been 4 months since we lost you, I am still waiting to wake up from this nightmare. I miss you everyday baby and I hope one day it may gets easier, as living without you hurts so much. The kids got me through my surgery and have been there for me. We all went to HH, as we needed some down time. I know you never liked celebrating your birthday on 9/11 because of 2001, and we will respect and continue that tradition. The kids and I will celebrate tomorrow and they wanted your sauce, thankfully you had the recipe in your recipe file. I followed it to the tee and I hope it came out as good yours always did. This afternoon the girls and I will have lunch together and the boys wanted to come over tonight. I love you !

Suzy, you were the center of my universe, the rock of our family. We lived through good time and bad. You raised our 2 beautiful daughters and molded into loving and caring individuals. I will miss you everyday and pray you are now at peace.

Our love to all of you. I will forever miss and love my long time friend who has and will continue to be sister to me. Julie and Tony

Dear Fiuamono Family, it is with a sad heart that I am writing to you. SUSAN will be terribly missed. She was a good friend to me and will always be remembered. With love, LINDA RESTITUTO

We were born same name, the same day on different coasts you on the East coast me on the West coast but we were meant to meet, you were just as much a real sister as my birth sisters! We worked together for 10 years, I so enjoyed being around you and your family so many good times and so much laughter I could never forget your laugh! Sue you were so kind and sweet, you were also tough and fierce when you needed to be. I will always love you and hope we meet again maybe next life we will be birth sisters. I wish comfort to those you left behind knowing that you are watching over them. Love you forever until we meet again my friend.

Diana and Lou Corino Friends like Suzy makes this world a much better place. Lou and I are sending a tearful goodbye to a loving friend. Suzy was a delightful lady with such a joyful spirit and contagious laugh. She had a profound love and sincere concern for her family and friends as well as her numerous pets. Suzy was the epitome of true friendship, never forgetting to send well wishes for birthdays, holidays and get wells. I will always miss our marathon phone calls to catch up on our long distance lives. Suzy has a life well lived. She will be forever in my heart.

Frank, knowing Sue over all these years and spending time together was gift from God. She was a special and loving person who will be missed by all. God bless.

Sue was not only my cousin but also my friend. She always had a smile on her face that would light up a room! She was always there if you needed someone to talk or cry too. Life won't be the same without that smiling face. Heaven has gained another angel to watch over us!
