Sue is remembered by Rose and me as a very kind and gracious lady. It was always a joy to be with Sue at Shrine Functions, and she will be missed.
It is at times such as these that we remember that death is that starlit strip between the wonderful memories of today and the sweet reunion of tomorrow. Jim, know we pray for your peace and your comfort. May the grace and peace of our Lord be with you. Peace,

Sue will be remembered by myself as one of the dearest ladies I've ever met. Regardless of what she was going through, she thought of others first, never complaining but somehow making everyone else leave her company with a smile. Heaven truly has an Angel!!! I love you Sue Newcombe & I'll truly miss you,
