To the Krmpotic Family and fiance Cecil. My deepest condolences for your loss. Sue was an special friend and colleague at Allstream and worked together closely. We met in July and had our usual medium doppio doppio. It was Sue's Italian way of saying medium double double. We laughed, we got caught up on time passed. I never imagined that it would be our last goodbye. I will keep the memory of that day dear to my heart. RIP Susie.

Hello Jack. I've had you in my thoughts since I've known of Susan's passing. Please accept my sincerest condolences to you and your family.

Mary, Tony, Jasna ,Jack and Cecil, we are so sorry for your loss. Suzy was such a wonderful person. From the time she worked for us as a 16 year old we knew how warm and caring she was. Over the years we have had opportunities to catch up and always it was like we had never missed time. A sign of true friendship. Doug & I will always cherish the laughter,Suzy's wicked wit and giggle. We are sorry we can not be there today. Rest in peace.

I consider myself lucky to have had the ability to share and make wonderful memories with Sue for 15 years. She was a caring and kind person and a friend like no other. I will miss her dearly. My deepest sympathies to the family, Cecil and all her friends near and far. Her light and bright spirit will live in us always.

Dear Sue's family, fiancé and friends,
I worked with Sue at Allstream and used to sit in the desk just over the cubicle wall from her where I could hear her voice and lovely manner floating over to my side.
She was a beautiful person - inside and out.
Always smiling and a real joy to be around.
It just breaks my heart that you lost her so young. She was a fighter and a real inspiration to me.
She is very, very fondly remembered.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
January 12, 2016
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Cecil, I am so very sorry for your loss and am thinking of you during this time.

Sue.. a very beautiful person that touched our lives in many different ways. She brought a smile to many faces, she was positive, kind witty ,charming and very helpful. I pray that God's loving arms will hold you all and bring you all peace.

Sue, you introduced me to Tim Horton's on our New York adventure in 2010 - dubbed 'the Sistagirl tour', and I was hooked. I really enjoyed the time I spent with you then and it was wonderful to catch up again in person in 2014 at Niagara Falls. I'm sad to think that you won't be on any more Sistagirl tours. You will always be in our hearts though. You will be missed by many. Loving thoughts from your sista's in Australia to your family and friends in Canada/USA. xxxxx

It is with a heavy heart that I write this message to Sue's family and friends in honour of a great and wonderful person.
Sue and I lived in the same residence in Ryerson the first year of a brand new on campus facility, she lived on the 13th floor and I lived on the 11th. She had a roommate name Karen, also in the third year of her program, and even though I was just a freshman, I got to know Karen and Sue through their open door policy even with a crazy first year small town boy in the big city like me.
Sue was always so studious and even though she and Karen were often knee deep in projects and essays, they both lived the crazy residence life that only those who were there that first year could truly appreciate. We all bonded!
After that residence year, I lost touch with Sue as she graduated and I ventured on as both our careers progressed......until one day our jobs crossed paths at ATT IES. Having briefly seen her name cc'd on some correspondence, it wasn't until I ran into her on a break at work that I realized she was once again 2 floors up from me and a Manager with the same open door policy.
It truly felt like time hadn't passed and she was instrumental in helping me adjust to a new work environment and a new Company in which she truly loved working for or better yet, truly loved the people she worked with.
I moved on from ATT and always knew Sue would go far in her career and with her relationships with colleagues, friends and family. She treated everyone like they were the most important person in that moment.
Until our path cross once again Sue, I know your policy is golden with everyone you have touched .... and you continue to watch over us 2 floors up!

Sue was such a warm and caring person. I worked with her at AT&T/Allstream and any time we bumped into each other in the office, she always took the time to chat and catch up. She was always genuine, and such a positive influence to those that had the pleasure of knowing her. My deepest condolences to her family, friends and loved ones. Sue, thank you for being such a bright and beautiful person.
January 12, 2016
I have no words to express my sadness.
Sue was my friend, like a sister to me. We had shared many experiences, both good and bad, which made our friendship stronger.
From movies and coffee, to concerts and shopping, Blue Jay games and extended phone conversations, and memorable vacations, Sue will be forever connected to my family, as well as myself.
Sue loved her family and friends, was loyal, honest and always willing to lend a helping hand.
my deepest sympathies are sent to Mr. and Mrs. Krmpotic, Jasna and John, Jack and family, and Cecil and family.
Sue will forever live on in the many wonderful memories and stories that I will be proud of sharing.
I love you Sue.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sue. I did not know her very well but we lived in the same building and spoke often. She always had a warm smile and kind words to say. I am glad to have known her. She has left us far too soon and she will be missed. At least she is in the hands of a higher being. May she rest in peace.
My deepest condolences go to Sue's family and fiancé Cecil.
January 11, 2016
Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your loved one, Susan. My thoughts, prayers and wishes for courage and strength through this difficult time are with you Cecil and dearest family and friends. May she find peace and stillness Blessings Mary Jo Clark

Dear Mary, Tony, Jasna and Jack:
I feel heartbroken in so many ways. I had a bond with Sue, my “Subina” as I called her, for me that was undeniably strong and cherished. After introducing her to many of my friends and family over the years, they also have grown extremely fond of her. Sue has left a very warm and personable impression on everyone who has crossed her path. Your daughter, your sister…. is the kind of person that was always giving of her positive cheer and spirit. I miss her so much. I wish I could sit with her one last time and share some conversation over coffee. She was my best friend and I loved her.
Please accept my deepest condolences and know that she is always in my heart. God bless! Take care Subina. "TAXI!!"
Love always, Mac.

You had an absolutely amazing daughter. I had the pleasure of starting on the same day as her at Netcom in the call centre. She was a treat to have as a co-worker and later as a supervisor. Her spirit and laugh was infection. i enjoyed many beach volleyball games with her. My thoughts are with you and all that loved her. She was taken too young. She is missed. She left a positive mark on many many people.

I am truly and deeply sorry to hear about Sue's passing. I did not even know she was sick, I wish I had.
Sue and I met at Ryerson University, where we were members of AIESEC. Mac, Mike, Bob, Marc, Sue and I spent many, many hours together in that little office in the Business Building. She shared with me many stories of her childhood in the Kap. We worked closely on many projects for school. She was always a terrific partner, able to manage all types of strong personalities with grace and ease.
She was one of the kindest, gentlest, sweetest women I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Her large, beautiful eyes and sweet giggle, you could not just help but to love her.
That was one of the happiest times of my life. Her friendship and insight helped me to transition my life in a much more positive path. It provided me with the ability to have the life I have now. I am so grateful to her for her friendship.
I am so happy to know that she found love and joy with Cecil. She deserved that love. It is also a great comfort to know that she was surrounded by her family, whom I know she cherished so much.
It is a tremendous loss to everyone who knew her. My thoughts and prayers are with you, in such a terrible time. It is awful for her to leave so young.
Yours truly,
Kate
