Dear Ned and family,

Please accept my profound sorrow and condolences for the loss of Sue. I have fond memories of working with both of you in the early 90's. Sue was so helpful to me when I arrived in the Army programs as a newbie, and went out of her way to mentor me. She was also there when I moved to Dalton and helped me load the truck.

She was intelligent and funny, a joy to work with. She will be missed.

Blessings to you and take comfort in the strength of your family in these difficult times.

I am so sorry to learn of Sue's passing. I worked with Sue in the transmission department at GE. We enjoyed a wonderful friendship during those years, I was so sorry that we had lost touch, but was very happy to hear that she had gotten married to her wonderful husband. I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to her family for their loss. I will remember Sue fondly and the fun times we had spent together.
