Webster Groves icon comes to mind. Sue was an exceptional human being, giving her time and talents to her community to the greatest degree. She raised a wonderful family, who is following in her footsteps. Our loss is Heaven's gain. We'll miss Sue's smile, spark, and hospitality. We'll always have fond memories and her legacy.

Sue was a mentor and great friend to me. You always knew where she stood, like it or not. She told me that made it easier for all. Her community involvement and spirit were unmatched. Her legacy is unforgettable. Rest in peace and thanks for the memories.

I wish I could have gotten to know her better but in the short time that I was arround her, I knew she was a special lady. She faced life with class and style no matter what the situation but always with a warm heart. I will miss her and I wish she could have been here when our families join for the wedding of our babies Jayme and Chris. I know she is in a better place and she will never be forgotten. God speed Sue!
