My condolences to the family. I grew up the neighborhood and spent more time at Sue's house than my own playing hockey in garage with Gary and Dirk, riding dirt bikes or baseball in side yard..... At the time, she was almost a second mom to me and all the other kids in area. God Bless

From the hockey trips to the fruitfly on Robins nose(Batman,the 1960s series) ,to the black snake Sue jumped over yrs ago at Lake Hatchineau, to the wonderful time Sue, Pam and I had in the lake. I will always love my Aunt Sue.
