Susan & Wayne,

I learned last night that Sue had passed away. I had tried to call her cell phone and emailed her but I did not get a response back.
We were good friends especially when we worked together at Liberty Mutual. Please accept my deepest sympathies. She will be greatly missed and will be forever in my heart.

Your friend,
Kathy Bond
