My condolences to Sue's (that's how I knew her) family. I worked with Sue in Dr. Milton Miller's office at Lewis-Gale Clinic from 1976 to 1983. She taught me much about caring for and about people. She will be missed. God bless you all!

To Sue's Family:
All the years I worked at FMC Friendship
Dialysis Center I knew Sue. She was a great lady. I loved to talk with her and
she always gave me a nice bag of that great party mix of hers each Christmas. I thought a lot of Sue and my deepest
sympathy I express to her daugher and
her son and their family members. She
was missed at FMC Friendship Dialysis Center when she moved to Charlottesville.
I shall always have fond memories of Sue
and also of Lindy who was so faithful in
bringing her to and from dialysis when he
was living. I will be thinking of you in the days and weeks to come.
