Tom, Mike, Angela and Dan; I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a wonderful person. I remember fondly those Circle Drive years, and will always believe the best homemade pizza was made in your moms kitchen. Her pineapple coffee cake is a family favorite we still make. She was so sweet teaching my mom to sew and sharing her kindness and wisdom. Your mom and dad were an important part of our growing up. Those were the days when neighbors were friends.
We were blessed to know your mom...

Hey Dan, I'm so sorry for your loss! I was fortunate enough to have worked with your Mom at Flint Schools! What a sweet and kind wonderful lady! We worked together at the Burroughs House on Avon! I would see her over the years when she would visit the ad building in the fine arts department! I lost my Mom to Heaven in February 2017! Major Prayers for you and all the family!

I took sewing classes from Sue almost 50 years ago. Her enthusiasm and skill introduced me to a life long hobby of sewing/quilting. She no doubt left a lasting legacy in her community. Sincere condolences to the family.
