MY SISTER SUE
Sue is one of the most respected person I know and I'm proud to call her my big sis.
Sue had goals in life. Her goals were to succeed....in everything.We had no money,
no house
We grew up poor living in the projects and we learned to depend on each other. .
Our mother was a single mother working at the canneries. Sue and I started working at a young age.
She worked at McDonalds and burger king and I at jack in the box.
Then she became a single mother herself and that made her more determined then ever!
She worked harder....she wanted things for her child that she never had growing up. We worked at the travelers Is together and then at sc funding together, we went through very much together. In 1990 she started working as a casual trying hard to get into this longshoreman job she talked so highly of. I remember how devoted and headstrong she was as she went down to 'the hall' every single day. She even talked me to go down once! she would also encourage others to also..
but no one could match her determination and she then got in. She was a longshoreman. I was always proud when I told people what she did for a living. Yes, my sister, doing that great big job!!
She than began making serious money as she worked 7 days a week a lot of the times. She began getting all the things she did not have as a child ....a house, a nice car,and she provided well for her two children as well as a lot of their friends. There were a few times she has helped me out of a pickle...I'll never forget her love she had for us, her family.
Everyone loved Sue, how could anyone not? She's everything I wish I could be.

Aunt Sue was one of the sweetest people
I have ever met.
She was so friendly and kind.
She would remember the sweetest things.
I had made a collage of interesting pictures and had shown it to
her once, pointing out a small picture of a chair with a red book opened on it.
The next time I saw her she had remembered and vividly described the picture to others as if she was presently looking at it.
Her voice was so friendly.
I could always tell when she was on the phone because she sounded like she was constantly happy.
She was the only person to ever call me Nikki. It made me feel really special.
Aunt Sue was very loving and
she will be greatly missed by many.

My mom was always there for me when I needed help. She did even the slightest things for me and my brother. She was the kind of person if you ask for help, you were guaranteed to get it. Not only with us, but she was like that with all our family members , co workers and friends.
We had our differences I always thought she was hard on me now I understand that it was just because she wanted me to succeed in life. She also took us on family vacations to Mexico and Hawaii. We had a lot of fun; sometimes it was easy to forget that I was there with my mom. It was important to her that we went places together as a family, she liked to make memories. Because of this, I have memories that will last a lifetime
I met Sue back in the 80's, she was a friend of my cousin. She was a beautiful girl and very nice. I loved her hair. After many years of not seeing her, I finally got to work for her. After seeing my name on my work ticket, she asked me if I was related to my cousin Liz. I said yes, and we instantly became friends again. Whenever we had a chance we would talk, and only stop because they'd be calling me on the radio wondering where I was. I sure will miss those talks,that kindness she had towards me and everyone who worked for her, but mostly I'm going to miss that beautiful smile.
Miss You,

How could I ever forget Sue? She was my older sister, she was my friend.
I remember in our younger days she would always let me tag along with her and her friends when they went crusing. How many sisters would allow that?
Another childhood memory I have is because I didnt know how to tell time or keep track of what day of the week it was, she would tell me it was a school day and we had to get ready to go to school. At the last minute she would tell me its a saturday! She always got a kick out of that! She was protective of me, once a girl from the neighborhood tried to start trouble with us and she told me to run home and get help. by the time I got back with help, she had already been picked on.
I will also always remember how much I missed her when she went any where. Like when she went to live with my dad in germany. Oh how I missed her! I cried and cried until she came back. im not sure how long it was but it felt like an eternity.
She also left again when she became pregnant with Danielle. She had to move into a place called St Annes because she couldnt afford to have a baby. I missed her so much. She was gone of course less than 9 months..
Im so proud of my sister Sue because she came a long way from when we were kids. She made it far and she worked hard to get there. I dont think I told her enough how proud I was of her.
Shes gone again and this time probably the longest. I will miss her terribly.
I have so many memories with Sue, Danielle and Paul. I've known Sue since I was about 12 years old; I met Danielle in Jr. High in 1992. When we were younger, she would always throw Danielle parties for her birthday, and she would allow me to spend the night whenever I wanted. I always had so much fun with Danielle and her family. I always thought of Sue as the "Cool Mom" and remembered Sue to be such a strong woman, esp. for her kids. She was a single Mother for so many years, and still managed to provide her children with everything. She was such a hard worker, and had love for so many people. Through all the years we've always stayed in touch, coincidentally, they moved to San Pedro, and I moved out to Gardena. In 2004, I was alone on Christmas Eve, and they invited me over. I swear it was like Santa came to Sue's house for my daughter Makayla and me. That's just how giving she was. Anytime I went to her house, she had a house full of kids, always eating, cooking meals, enjoying the pool, etc. I know that it was always in Sue's best heart to try and provide as much as she could for anyone in need. In return, I lot of ppl loved Sue.
As I grew older we were able to share fun times together as adults. I remember the first time I ever went to the Rose Bowl was with Sue, Danielle, and Melani. Danielle and Melani had to attend a concert for extra credit for their college. Sue was right there in full support! We enjoyed a great evening watching African Dancers/singers, and others perform. We munched on strawberries, cheese, crackers and drank wine! I had so much that night, as I had never experienced that before. Sue was SOO MUCH FUN! She will always be missed! I love you Sue!!!
