I was so sadden to hear about Miss Sue. We worked together at Hyatt Park School for many years. She always had a smile and was full of energy. She loved her family and was very proud of each and everyone of them. To the Frazier family, try to be strong during this difficult time. She would have wanted you to. God Bless to each and everyone of you.

As a member of the class of 1960 of Allen University it saddens me to learn of the death of our classmate. She was in attendance at our 50th Reunion and was a bunch of fun as usual. She had just had a fire in her home but was willing to do anything that I, as chairman, needed her to do. We pray God's blessings on the family .
