Sue you will be deeply missed. Bindy and I spent alot of time with Tim and Sue when our kids where very young and growing up. Sue was always finding things for them to do to keep them busy but always make sure they were also learning. She was a great friend an amazing mother that you could trust and count on. Sue will always be in our heart.
So sorry for your loss my friend.
DEAREST ALBEE AND AKER FAMILIES,
MY DEEPEST, HEARTFELT SYMPATHY TO ALL OF YOU IN THIS SORROWFUL TIME OF LOSS. I HAVE SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES THAT BRING JOY THROUGH THE TEARS OF TIME SPENT WITH HER AND THE FAMILY. SHE FOUGHT A LONG AND COURAGEOUS BATTLE, AND NOW SHE IS AT PEACE. MAY YOU ALL FIND COMFORT IN YOUR MOST CHERISHED AND JOYFUL MEMORIES OF HER. WISHING YOU COMFORT AND PEACE IN THIS DIFFICULT TIME.
WITH LOVE,
MARY ANN (MAJEWSKI) KUHAR
I’m sorry to see such a good person leave. Since I am unable to change my trip out of town, this board is the way to say goodbye. Mrs. Albee opened up her home to me for years and years during my childhood so Tim and I could hang out. The truth is that her home was a sanctuary from my home. I do not know if she ever knew that (I feel like she did), but those times with Tim, playing with Maggie, shooting baskets in the driveway, and playing video games all were times that helped me get by. The Albee family never had to share those pieces of Friday night pizza or the countless gestures they made towards me, but they did. I do know that understanding the kindness now as a parent has made me a better person. The world needs more Mrs. Albees.
