Hi Tim and Family, This is Scott MacDougall who used to be your neighbors on School St many years ago. Myself and my ex-wife Cindy send our heartfelt condolences. I was unable to make the wake and turned up at the church service a day early. Hmmm. Sorry about that. I am unable to go on Friday and again send my sorrow and hope as the days pass you heal more each day. Blessings, Scott

Dear Mrs. Plamondon, Tim and family: I am so sad to hear of Sue’s passing. She was one of my first friends when our family moved to Hudson and I have such wonderful memories of our adventures.... and a few misadventures... throughout our young adult years. Her love for her family and her dedication to her students is a testament to her truly lovely soul. While Sue and I eventually lost touch, I am so thankful for out years of friendship. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Sue was a wonderful, kind, funny, and warm lady deeply dedicated to her work and her students, and after working with her for so many years at LHS it feels as though a little bit of OUR heart has gone missing...may her loved ones find solace in sweet memories and in KNOWING that Sue absolutely made a difference in so many places in her life...❤️

Sue’s love for life and family is how she led herself growing up as kids and all throughout her adult life. She was a force in her own right with a gentle and kind heart. Taken all too soon, Sue, you are and will continue to be greatly missed. Thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathies are being shared with Tim and family, your mom and siblings, and all the entire family. Numb with disbelief, truly sad news.

To Sue’s husband Tim, her children, her mom and siblings, I wish to express my deepest condolences for Sue’s loss. I grew up with Sue in Hudson and have many wonderful memories of her. She had a great sense of humor and I still laugh at our exploits in band while at Hudson Memorial and at Alvirne. She was one in a million and will be dearly missed by all. Tim and her family will be in my prayers and my memories of Sue will live on in my heart.

It makes me wonder if when your work here is done you are asked to move on. If that is the way it works, then Sue certainly planted all the right seeds while here: love, family, friends, and an eternal encouraging smile. I suspect she is both still here and still smiling and encouraging us to do the same.

Cathy Maguire said : Guest Report Oct 13, 2019 at 8:35 PM

Marc so very sorry to hear of your loss. May the happy memories live on in your heart forever. While I didn’t know your sister, I certainly wish I had the pleasure. She sounds like a wonderful person. Best wishes and prayers to you and your family as you deal with this terrible loss

Marc and family, I think Bern spoke for all of us who love you 💕. Heaven gained another angel who will watch over you. You’re in our thoughts and prayers brother.... with love mike & kathie

Dear Tim, Words escape me as I send my sincerest words of condolence to you and your family. Of course, I remember you and Sue as fun-loving, bubbling teenagers at Alvirne, and it's with a bittersweet fondness that I will hold you and Sue in my prayerful thoughts as the heavens open up for your dear partner of over thirty years. As I was thinking of both you and Susan, I was remembering something I had long forgotten: I'll hope to give you a smile amidst the tears: When I had Susan in English, 10th grade-maybe, we had the vocabulary word "loquacious." Because, as you know, Sue love to chat, so I told her then that the dictionary should have included her portrait next to the definition. We giggled about that often through the years we were all at Alvirne as colleagues. She'd give me that hearty laugh each time we brought it up and we never tired of the memory. Susan is a special soul who will be sorely missed; you know that. I am very happy to have been among her teachers during the early years and, then later, among her colleagues. Please know how sorry I am, and how very much you're in my thoughts and prayers. Warm regards, Len Miller

To the families of Susan. the Berniers would like to express our condolences for the loss of a great inspiration in your lives. I have been a friend to Marc (Plo) for 42 years and we always talked about our families and how they were doing, Mark was very proud of Sue for all of her accomplishments and caring nature (It runs in the family) They are a very tight family. Susan, Mark and Lisas dad was my music teacher in the early 70,s and he was also well loved by by the peoples lives he touched. Mr and Mrs Plomondon raised some great kids. I have met Tim a few times an I will pray for him and their children as well as the rest of you, There is a saying that I like and its so true ITS NOT THE YEARS IN YOUR LIFE,,ITS THE LIFE IN YOUR YEARS From the Berniers
