I just learned of Miss Sue's homegoing. I asked about her today in Ukrop's because it had been quite some time since I'd seen and chatted with her. I am genuinely saddened, but happy too because she and I will be in the Heavenly choir together one day. I sincerely hope it brings some comfort to you all to know others benefitted from her lovely smile and friendliness.

I knew Sue from Ukrop's. Whenever she was doing check-out, I always got in her lane, just to chat and share her wonderful sense of humor. I watch Grove Ave every Sunday and would see her in the choir. She will be missed deeply by me, but take comfort in knowing she is with our Lord in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Sue will be missed very much from the choir and as a friend . She was so thoughtful and always the first one to send cards and cheerful greetings for those who were sick or having birthdays. She also was the "mint donor" who would have mints available for the choir. We sang clearer and cleaner because of her love! Sue was patriotic and loved to bring flags on patriotic holidays, too. God has a special place for Sue and I am happy for her to be with Jesus in her heavenly home and look forward to seeing her again some day. Love, your alto buddy, Bonnie Northen
