Sue was such a delight always was smiling and would welcome you in with a hug. I work in the building ad a Home Health Aide. My client and I had her 98th birthday cake made. I will always remember her reaction when she saw everyone it was priceless. May she rest in peace and prayers for her family in this time of their loss.
