I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting this wonderful lady back in March of 2012. She made my day so much brighter. Bob, she talked about you frequently but always said how proud she was of both of her children. I'm thankful she is finally resting peacefully with that wonderful husband of hers. God blessed me with knowing her. My deepest sympathy.

Dear Watson and Bob,
We were so sorry to hear about Aunt Sue. We all know she is in a much better place now, united with Uncle Wat, her parents, Aunt Mary and Dad. There's a lot of catching up to do. She was a witty, smart, beautiful woman. She will be missed. Wish we could be there with you. Please know that our love and sincere thoughts are with you and your families.
