I am just finding out about Sue's passing, and it brings tears to my eyes. I haven't see Sue for many years, and we lost touch, but thinking back to the fun and laughs we had brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart. Rest in Peace Sue.

I was and remain so very fond of my cousin Sue and I am so very sad to hear of her passing. When we were younger, Sue introduced me to the song Let it Whip by the Dazz Band. It's a goofy song but very catchy and I still sing it periodically.
I remember Sue playing this song at my Aunt Sheila's house. Anita was there. So was Jim and my brother Joel. This is a very nice memory that I have. I think Sue must have been 17 at the time.
Sue was genuine, engaging and always a lot of fun to be with.
I am just so very sorry and sad to hear of her passing.
