Paul, I'm so sorry to hear of Sue's passing. She was truely one of a kind.
I loved her spunk and dertimination, and also her soft caring side. She was a great co worker, we shared a lot of good times and some not so good. I could always count on Sue to know the right thing to do. I'll miss her. Gary Hillesland

Dear Family, Sue shared such great stories of family it was apparent to all who knew her how deeply she loved all of you. Paul who was her rock. John who made her eyes light with pride every time she spoke of you. Mary Ellen and Margaret who were never far from her thoughts and her family stories, Sue let us feel a little connection to you. Her father, mother and brother were still very much alive in her heart. Sue had such intelligence and wit - every day I worked with Sue was a better day for me. - Mary E. Jones

Dear Paul, family and friends of Sue. I worked and knew Sue in earlier times for about 20+ years. I worked with her very closely for 3 years at Rockville Housing Enterprises. She was such a straight shooter and I so admired her spunk. I remember her stories of her earlier life (either sky diving or deep water exploring...). She was so intelligent and a beautiful person inside. She loved Paul and her son deeply. God bless the family. Respectfully, Jenny Short

I am sorry for your loss as Susan was a wonderful advocate for housing and the people that she served in Rockville. I met Susan through MAHRA and she was always invested in getting the message out to everyone and making her efforts count. She will be missed as she left us too soon.
