Mrs Levy, 53, was described by her husband Harry as a
"devoted and much-loved wife and mother of two sons" - Daniel, 25,
and Jamie, 23. "We are all devastated by our loss," said Mr Levy.
"She was a valued and respected member of her
extended Jewish family and will be deeply mourned and sadly missed
by us and her many friends." Mrs Levy had become accustomed to
sharing the first half of her 17-mile commute from Newgate Street
Village, near Cuffley, with her younger son. On the morning of the
attacks she had said goodbye to Jamie, who got off at Finsbury
Park, while she remained on the Piccadilly Line train which
exploded underneath Russell Square. The family's tragedy was
exacerbated even further when it emerged that the day after Mrs
Levy's death, her estranged sister Ruth Frankel had died in
hospital after a long illness. The two sisters had not spoken for
about eight years and Mrs Frankel had not been aware her sister
was missing in the London attacks. "Sue was very much a loving
mother," Mr Levy's cousin Jason told the Hoddesdon and Broxbourne
Mercury. "They were the most tight-knit family imaginable. They
did everything together. I feel for the two boys - they are
absolutely devastated." A couple who met Mr and Mrs Levy on
holiday in Florida five years ago told the Guardian she was the
"type of person that once you met her you felt you had known her
for years". "Her smile was enchanting, her laughter contagious,"
said Lucille and Edward Welchman. "When we became grandparents,
she and Harry adopted our grandsons as their own. "'Aunt Susan'
was special - Gabriel is the only child in first grade here in
Port Charlotte who has a backpack from Harrods." More than 100
family members and friends attended Mrs Levy's cremation in a
private service in Golders Green, north London. .
