I became friends with Sue when we worked together in San Diego. It was always so much fun to hang out with her. We both enjoyed and visited many street fairs together. She was such a good, loving "mom" to her three little pups and they adored her too. Sue was a sweet, fun person who left us too soon. I've really missed her.
