“Su was a sister, auntie and sister in law and above all the most amazing woman whom we were all so proud of.

“She had been taken away from us way too soon, her passing has been so sudden and has rocked us to the core.

“There will forever be a hole in our hearts and lives that will never be filled. We shared wonderful memories laughter and love, which we will always cherish.
