Not sure what to say?

Sue loved her home and family. She always had a sweet smile every time I walked in her door. I could actually feel the love. She will be missed but her memory will live forever.

I worked with Sue way back in the early 1980s at Vaughan Furniture. She had a great sense of humor as I recall. To the family, I am sorry to hear of Sue's passing. I will pray for comfort from our Lord. Remember the best of times, those memories will get you through the worst of times. Blessings to all.

So sorry for your loss, prayers and thoughts to the family. Love you all.

so sorry for your loss prayers and condolences to the family from an old Stevens Creek neighbor from years ago rest in peace Sue
