Sue was such a lovely lady who gave joy. Thank you for the happy times we have had Sue and being a lovely Mother-in-law to Paul. Remember Sue by being kind it is a gift that is free. Mary xxxx

A friend like you only comes along a few times in your life. The memories we shared over the years will last forever. We will miss your kindness, hospitality and smile.

Sue was my mother in law and I feel very privileged to be able to say that. To me, Sue exuded the very meaning of true kindness, compassion and empathy for those around her. Sue seemed to see the best in people despite the situation and would rarely judge. Always the first to pop round with a few cakes, a potted plant and a card or to just say hello. Don would drive Sue all over Halifax and beyond to drop off countless gifts or just to pop in and say hello. I think it is important to really appreciate the value of Sue's endeavors. Owning a florist for 17 years is no mean feat given the work and the hours involved. The giving of flowers can be a powerful gesture whether for moments of joy and celebration or indeed moments of sadness and remembrance. Flowers can soothe and they can also put a smile on someone's face and for me Sue provided a service that gave both joy and also comfort to countless people and families. A powerful legacy indeed. Now fancy dress and a good party is a passion of mine as most of my friends and family know. When Jo told me her Mum owned a fancy dress shop I knew she was the girl for me ! Fancy dress is all about making people laugh, to just have a good time and to escape reality for a few hours. Sue made this possible for thousands upon thousands of people. Sue brought the joy! Another powerful legacy and one that few can lay claim to. When I think of Sue I have so many happy memories from family gatherings, parties and celebrations where fancy dress played a big part, holidays, visits to our house for dinner and a sleep over and cheers of encouragement on the fells as I ran around chasing Jo in some race or other. Sue also played a huge part in my wedding, organising and arranging all the flowers for the ceremony. The last few years have been a challenge for Sue health wise but I have always been struck by her stoicism and bravery to deal with some really challenging moments. Never one to moan but just deal with it quietly. Christmas 2024 was such a special time for Jo and I and for a few hours we had the mother and mother in law back that we had missed. We laughed, we ate, we drank, we reminisced and we wore silly glasses and hats. I have much to be grateful for from Sue but the most important to me is Jo my lovely wife. Sue lives on in Jo and for that I am so very grateful. Her kindness, thoughtfulness, consideration, passion for baking a cake and making the occasional trifle comes from her Mum. What more could I want ! We may think Sue has left us but in truth she is all around us. Her spirit lives on through her family and those who knew her as a friend. If I have learnt one thing from Sue its simple. Just be kind, it doesn't have to cost anything x

Susan was a great friend and I will miss her terribly.

In loving memory of such a special person, Sue was always so generous with her time and affection, we will miss her such a lot.

I met Sue through her lovely daughter and my good friend Jo and realised immediately from where Jo inherited her bubbly, kind & caring nature. Sue was always a bundle of fun at all the family events l was fortunate enough to attend. I'm sure she will be greatly missed but an absolute pleasure to remember.

Thank you for all the wonderful memories you have left us with, the kindness and joyful times. Your laughter and mesmerising baking. The surprise gifts 🎁 and support you gave everyone. We all will remember you Sue, I am blessed to have been part of your life and you will always be in our memories. Thanks Sue for just being there.

Thanks for teaching me so much! Not just the passion for baking, flowers and fancy dress, but also for bestowing your wisdom, virtues and family values on to me. I know you will be there when I get married or have children. Happy memories of being with you shall stay with me always. Love you Grandma. x

To grandma Sue, the best grandma I could ever hope for. I’ll miss your hugs and trifles. I’ll never forget your tips on how to bake, craft and dress to impress. Your warm lovely presence always filled the room. I love you lots, from your favourite grandson Oscar xx

To Sue my favourite mother in law! I’ve lost my drink 🍸 buddy all the great times we had fabulous holidays, going out for meals, family bbq’s and days out. Thank you for always being there especially when the kids were little. I love you to bits! life is never going to be as much fun without you. I will hold you in my heart until we meet again.

To my mum, thank you for all the support you gave me throughout my life, I know I could be a challenge sometimes but hopefully turned out ok in the end thanks to your unwavering support. You will be greatly missed by us all, your granddaughters Amelia and Eva will forever remember the happy times they enjoyed with you and dad, trips on the train, walks in the country and acting as your sous-chef! I’ll miss our Sunday visits but know you will always be with us in spirit, giving a guiding hand when one is needed. Keep smiling and we’ll see each other again one day… love Ben, Karrie, Amelia, and Eva xxx

''What can I say, My shining star and love of My life'' I am looking at a photo of you on our first holiday sat on a wall by the sea and I think however did I get to marry such a special girl as this.

Sue, started as my boss.. but very soon became my best friend!!.. you helped me in more ways than you will ever know and I remember the brilliant times we had together in work and after.. thankyou sue for being my one true best friend.. I love you and miss you so much xx

Sue was always one of the happiest and most positive people I ever knew. Always laughing and smiling. So very proud of her children and grandchildren. A generous and fun person who once thought that Chris and I would like to dress up as the cheeky girls one New Year’s Eve (we aren’t the smallest of people!). Luckily she sent back up costumes of tweedledum and tweedledee!! A fun loving woman with the biggest smile and the best hugs. She will be missed by all the people whose lives she made better simply by them knowing her ❤️

Mum, miss you, and I will do forever. You were ‘simply the best’ and we all had the ‘time of our lives’ due to you. You were always so kind to everyone, and I don’t know anyone else like you. Mum, thank you for being you, and so loving, caring, thoughtful, bubbly and brave. I will miss your smile but I will think about your happy face every day and hope you are there. Love you always, Jo xx

I really don’t know where to start, I’m broken. To put it simply you were the best mum in the World ! I will be lost without you but I know you will be watching over us all everyday. Love you always mum xxxx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Sue. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
