My condolences to the McCarthy family. Sue & I have been lifelong friends for over 32 years. I already miss her laugh & sense of humor, but most of all I miss our phone chats, where we always caught up on each other's lives. She loved talking about her family & I felt I knew them all through her. The miles between us never interfered with our friendship bond. She will forever remain my lifelong friend in my heart.
