I will always remember spending weekends at the Martin“s house in my early teens. We would go to the Springfield Springs from opening to closing time. Sue had 3 sons and wanted someone to bake and do girly things with. She taught me many things on those weekends. I have very fond memories of Sue, Mike, Mike, Kevin and Brian. Rest easy sweet lady
