My condolences to Sue´s family, and her Dad. I knew Sue many years ago when I was Shona Dick and she was Sue Gudex. School, nursing (Waikato Hospital) and our fathers were medical colleagues and friends. I knew of her illness through mutual friends, but have only today learned of her passing.

A treasured light has gone out in our lives. How thankful we are to have known Sue. Sue truly was an "angel on earth". Her presence was uplifting, her empathy and understanding impactful in the best of ways, and her laughter and love infectious. Like lavender, Sue´s graceful and caring fragrance will continue to permeate the air around us. R.I.P. Sue, and a very, very special "Thank You!"

I was sorry to hear of Sue's passing. She was a wonderful woman and midwife, and a wonderful guide into the world of motherhood.
I will always be grateful to Sue for easing that transition before, during and after the birth of my precious daughter.
Much love and sympathy to the Douglas and Gudex whanau on the passing of the truly beautiful woman that was Sue

Sue was my midwife many years ago and I have never forgotten her kindness. She was incredibly capable, confident, unassuming, professional and kind. Her smile always put me at ease.
