Sue was so very special to all of us at BASF. She was a true friend that could always be counted on to help and to always leave us smiling.
You are all in our prayers.

Betsy and Jack,
I knew your Mom through my Mom, Anne Crenshaw. I always enjoyed seeing and talking with her. She was a sweet lady. May all of your wonderful memories carry you through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Jack and Family,
I was saddened to read of Your Mothers passing. I remember as if it were yesterday talking with her at the ball games. Although it has been many years I still enjoy the memories. May God bless you and your family.

I remember so many wonderful things. Christmas', weigh watchers, home-made pizza, sewing curtains, etc. Jack & Betsy you are in my thoughts today. Your mama was a wonderful lady and will be missed by so many people. There are so many precious memories that will last forever.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We have some great memories of sitting with Sue watching our son Brian and his best friend Jack playing baseball. The trip we took with Sue to Tennessee (for baseball) was an experience we will always remember. Sue was a terrific lady and we loved her.

Ahhh, Those delightful Christmas gatherings at Sue's. Family, food, and the joy that filled the house. They were the highlight of the holidays!
Sue filled the room with laughter! I used to ration the container of Uncle Ben's famous Peanut Butter Fudge for weeks thereafter, trying to make the holidays stretch on into the wintery months that followed. I steered clear of the rocket-powered egg nog then, but she would ply me with Miss Virginia's Drinking Custard.
