I think of this beautiful lady and smile, for she always brought joy. I know she and Stan are getting such a big kick watching and over seeing Amy in her big adventures. Shopping and having her nails done. A gal after Sue's own heart. Love to you in Heaven. One day we will have coffee together at the big table in Heaven.

I want to express my sincere condolences to Sue's family. I hope to meet Linda Rohrbach and family some time in the future to give her some wonderful photos of Sue, especially those taken at VA TECH when she attended a dance weekend as my guest in 1951.

Sue was always dressed so pretty from head to toe. I used to tell her she looked as though she walked out of a catalog! She, Linda and I enjoyed many cups of coffee together chit chatting. I sill can hear her voice and see her smiling saying, "Honey that is nothing! Wait till you hear what I did to Stan." Sue would say she was a real live Lucy!" and we would laugh. Im going to miss my friend but I rejpice knowing she is in Heaven with Stan and Jesus. Amy Bromwell
