Dear Sue and Family - such a lovely lady and one will surely be missed around Orange Lake. She and I would meet so often in the store or when I brought the grandkids trick-or-treating to her house - there was always so much to talk about. God Bless her and keep her. I'm sorry Sue I couldn't get down to the funeral home to see you - to think it's been since high school that I last saw you. Love from Kathy Martel Sileno
