Our family is so very sorry for your loss. Both of our children loved having Mrs. Kaufman as a teacher and she was so wonderful to all of her students. Sharing her love of reading was one of her many gifts that made the kids feel special.

My deepest sympathies to Sues husband and family. She loved her family and she loved teaching. She was smart and funny, and I enjoyed having her in my classroom when she worked as a classroom aide. May your cherished memories of her be your lasting keepsake.

To all the Kaufman Family Sue was such a kind person with a great sense of humor. A wonderful teacher that touched so many lives. Her love for her family was limitless. A second mom to my daughter and a wonderful role model for all the kids she taught. She always made everyone feel welcome. Our deepest condolences and prayers for you all. Her kind spirit will be watching over you always.
