I have so many memories of all the wonderful times we all have had together and for that I want to think you Sue an also you Mary.
Our family will be lost without her here,all my LOVE to both of you.

All my love

Sue was, and wil continue to be a bright shiny spot in my heart. No one had a kinder heart, was more compassionate for the less fortunate, and so giving to those she cared for. She often tried to mask her tender heart with a dry sense of humor, but once you got to know her, you could see what a softy she was. She may be gone from our physical sphere, but she will live forever in my heart and memory. I love her and Aunt Mary more than I could ever put into words. ~ LaJaunta Mayes Welch OK (niece)
