Sue was a lady who had her feet on the ground and was a true mother and friend. Still cannot believe she is no longer with us.

My deepest condolences to the Raucci family on the sudden loss of Sue. She was a very unique and loving person. I attended Madonna High School with Sue plus attended several reunion trips with our fellow classmates. She will be missed by so many people.

Hopefully, your many memories of her will help you through this difficult time. It was a quick and painless death for her, but no chance for the family members and friends to say goodbye.

To the Raucci Family,
Our deepest sympathy to all of you! I will miss Sue at the fitness center as well as an Extraordinaary Minister at St. Emily on Sundays! Our friendship dates back to first grade of our youngest ones, well over 30 years. One does not forget such people in a short time. What a kind soul!

My deepest condolences to all of you. I'm a Madonna Club member and friends with Sue since 7th grade. I treasure my memories of Sue through the years. Sue was a smart, funny, kind and gentle soul...always there with an encouraging word and smile. I know that she is safe in God's loving arms.

I regret that I'll not be able to attend services, but with you all in spirit and prayer.

Including a photo of us with Carol (Quag) taken when making an origami peace crane chain for Mary Bannon Lund several years ago. They are together now as our angels to watch over us.

With warmest regards...
