Dear Poll family,
I was so sorry to hear of Sue's passing.
She was a great lady. "Tote" and Sue were a big part of my parents life over many, many years. We enjoyed their friendship, as well. They were such Buckeye Fans -- we would often see them at the HorseShoe and at Bowl games. Such good people.

Sue had such a warm personality and a great smile. We Guest Girls will miss her.
