oh my goodness, so sad to hear this. Sue was a beloved teacher at SFA. She was amazing, and so good for my son. We are so sorry for your loss, Matt and the entire family.
Although I did not get the opportunity to work with Sue when she taught at St. Francis, I did get to know her when she was a substitute in my classroom as well as some of my fellow teachers’ classrooms. Her smile and infectious laughter always brighten my day. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Colletta family, may God embrace you during your time of need. May her soul rest in peace. Sue was a wonderful friend to many, a very much appreciated teacher at SFA and her legacy will live on through all those students she taught over 43 years. Her spirit will remain alive and full of fun. We all lost a good person today. My heart hurts for all of you.
Hugs and tons of prayers,
Lucy and Herb
