As a young girl, I emulated cousin Sue as she was smart and a successful lawyer.   She inspired me to be successful,  to be strong, and to be a writer.   
When she had Steffi, I saw another side of her that was so gentle, soft and loving.   I saw how she raised Steffi, and  it was an example for me in raising my son.   
All of my life, she was someone to look up to and someone who inspired me.   She meant so much to me and so many people.  My heart can only share the beautiful, strong example she was to me for Steffi.    
She was adventurous,  generous to me and my son, and the best example of a mother and daughter.  I will sorely miss her.

My cousin Sue I knew as an intelligent, strong, loving, caring, giving, generous, loyal, adventurous travelling person who didn't back down to  challenges. And watching her as I grew up she set these terrific examples for me in how she cared for and stood up for those around her friends and family. Enriching our life's in many different ways. Strong lawyer. A Loving, devoted mother to Steffi whom she adored so much more than life. And a loving devoted daughter, sister and wife.  A Radulovich who kept her strong fierce Montenegrin roots close.  One memory Sue, my brother Alex and I spent time together and travelling in war tor. Yugoslavia in the 90s .  She brought and shipped loads and loads of clothes, medicine from America  for relatives,  children and adults in the town of some of our ancestors. We also got to tour in the mountains  by a taxi  in  Montenegro and found out our taxi driver was also a relative in the Radulovich clan. The joy of finding this out we got to visit with his family during wartime and embargo . This is one of many memories I will cherish along with her giving me driving instructions in her red convertible as a young teen.  We will all miss you. Memory Eternal! 

To my cousin Sue. I can't say "Thank you" enough for always being a part of my life and my family's. You will forever be missed. You were always full of life, vitality and adventure. you were a beacon for us all. I can never replace the memories of you. You and your family were always very close to us. I remember all the Birthday parties when I was little that you came to, from the ugly Izod brown sweater you bought me for Christmas when I was a kid, to when I watched you on T.V. march in the marching band at University of Miami. I remember my mom hanging your Law School graduation newspaper clipping on the wall and pointing to it and saying how proud she was of you. I remember you on T.V. fighting for women to golf alone at private county clubs in Michigan and the chipping advice you gave me when I played golf in High School, and the traffic tickets you got me out of in court ! I remember the travels we had in Serbia and the mountains, beaches of Montenegro eating fresh trout in the Bay of Kotor with my brother Milan. I remember the fun in Puerto Rico and blazing hot sands of the Sahara in Morocco followed by the luxury of La Mamounia in Marrakesh. I cherished all the times we all went out eating and enjoying life, seeing Steffi sing at the Jazz clubs with my jaw dropped in total awe. You were always an inspiration in my life and I will always miss you.

Sue Roche will be remembered for her gifts of loyalty and support of those she loved.  Sue had the ability to recognize opportunities and talented people, especially her multi-talented daughter.   Sue's ambitious character was reflected with rays of encouragement  and fortitude for others to absorb.  I admired how Sue could compete and continue competing even if defeat occurred.  What she believed in would eventually win.  She has steadily shown these admirable characteristics to her daughter and to anyone who has witnessed Sue in action.  We may never have as much drive as Sue Ellen, but we can realize from her example that someone will need and benefit from a little push/encouragement some time.  With help and kindness, we can grow and bloom to be confident like Sue.  Then, we can help others.  The beat goes on.  It is with appreciation that I was given the opportunity to meet and work with Sue Ellen Roche in the music realm.   Lynne Henry-The Swing Shift Orchestra
