I love you all the way to the moon and heaven and back<3 - Posted by: emma (grandma ) on: Mar 24, 2021

• I met Susan through her first husband AL Tamura. I was Al's little brother from big brothers. I was around 12 at the time. The three of us spent many incredible times together from camping around Vancouver to building their home on the farm in Manitoba (some of the best meals I ever ate). I will always remember the light that shone from her. The way she made everyone feel loved and cared for.She taught me things about life that I needed to know even if they weren't always easy. At the time I didn't have a home and on my visits she made me feel like I had one. She treated me like a son and for that I am forever grateful.She was intelligent, truthful ,strong with a generous and playful spirit. She was an inspiration in her faith and devotion to God's word and inspired me to know him also. I still use the bible she gave me and I read the inscription she wrote in it all the time. Her words , her voice still clear as if she had just spoke them and my heart filled with joy and love every time I do. She is a role model for me and my family to live up to. I will miss her for now but I look forward to seeing her again." I will be there Susan". - Posted by: Michael wong (friend) on: Jan 24, 2015

My condolences to her family who were fortunate to have had her in their lives. - Posted by: Robert Hyslop (Friend) on: Jan 08, 2015

• Although our paths did not cross often, Susan always had a warm greeting, a smile and some news to share. I remember her warm welcome to the district and her practical advice on farm/rural living (much appreciated by this transplanted city gal). She had a joyful spirit & love of the Lord that inspired all privileged to know her. John and I send our sincere sympathies to Henry and the family.

• Susan was my high school sweetheart. She was one of the top female basketball players in New Brunswick. Sorry to hear about her passing. - Posted by: Peter Corby (old high school friend) on: Jan 07, 2015

• I am extremely saddened to hear of Susan's sudden passing. I met her only once at a cousin reunion in Calgary in the summer of 2013. I could see immediately what a beautiful person Susan was and how big her heart was. Henry, you have always been someone that I always see with a smile on your face and a joke in your pocket. I can see how you two were brought together and I am so thrilled that you found happiness again. My love to you Henry. - Posted by: Elaine Keim (Henry's cousin) on: Jan 07, 2015

• I have to thank God that we met and even became good friends. You were such a sincere and kind person, who treated me as if I was your family. I miss the time when we hung out and dined together. I remember one time we went to have Chinese food and you asked me to order something special. When the chicken feet that I ordered was served, your eyes widened and you said 'Oh! That's really too special! But never mind! Let's try it!' We finished the chicken feet in laughter and you said 'very yummy... But no more!' Susan, I miss you and love you. I look forward to seeing you again in heaven! - Posted by: Irene Peng (friend) on: Jan 06, 2015

• My deepest heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Susan's passing and so suddenly it seems. I went to school with Susan and cheered her team on at St. Stephen High. I knew her to be smiling all the time and a very vibrant girl. RIP dear girl. It seems like yesterday we were in school, I am sorry I hadn't seen Susan since high school. I didn't know she was a nurse. How wonderful. - Posted by: Barbara Johnston Dougherty (Friend) on: Jan 06, 2015

• I did not know Sue well, yet each time we came in contact she greeted me as though I was a dear friend. She exuded true love and caring, and there was no denying her love of Jesus which was communicated in both word and deed. The last memory I have of her was a very comforting hug shortly after my Dad passed away last spring. I can still see her genuine and reassuring smile, and that is how I will remember her. - Posted by: Joye Creaser (friend) on: Jan 06, 2015

• I am so sad I cannot be with you all. I am deeply shocked & saddened. I have fond memories of Aunt Susan taking me to fairs & exhibitions. She gave me a really cool tennis racket which I was very proud of. As well, she would find many trinkets that she'd share while travelling. I remember attending her wedding to Al in Vancouver in 1980! What a fun. I also remember meeting Ryan & Danelda for the first time. She loved them both & had fun sharing her love for sports with them both. My last visit with Susan & Henry was during a Mother's Day dinner in St. Andrews, NB. It was a lovely occasion & I will remember it fondly. Love to my family & the friends who loved my Aunt Susan. May you rest well.

• Susan and I were great friends all through high school and played on the same athletic teams, though she was always much better than I! I haven't seen her since then as I moved to Australia but her passing has deeply affected me as she was such a wonderful friend and truly good person. I'm sorry I will never see her again. My deepest sympathy to her family. - Posted by: Lorna Wall nee Stafford (St Stephen High School friend and team mate) on: Jan 06, 2015

• I am so sorry to hear of Susan's passing. She was a great lady and a true friend to my mom. After my mom's passing Sue gave me an ornament she had made in memory of my mom. I make sure this ornament is on my Christmas tree every year and will continue to do so. My dad (Bob Appleyard) passes along his condolences as well. - Posted by: Lorna Baker (Appleyard) (daughter of bus driver (Bob Appleyard) and mother (Doreen Appleyard - Balmoral morning curling)) on: Jan 05, 2015
