My husband and I just returned from a vacation when I heard of Sue's passing. I am so sorry to hear the news. She was a great lady. I loved the years I spent working with her at Madison She was always the bright spot in the day. Kids and adults alike knew she had a hug and a kind word for them. I will never forget the fun time we shared at my wedding when she helped me get ready and make it through all of the pictures. We laughed so hard!

She will be missed by so many. My thoughts and...

I was saddened to hear of Susan's passing. The class of MVHS '62 will definitely miss her. I will miss all the postings on Facebook by Sue and the games we played together. It was a connection I will surely miss. My prayers to her family.

I light this candle in Special memory of a wonderful lady, with a beautiful heart! I feel I was truly blessed to have been welcomed by Sue and her family, to provide her home care until her final breath. I can say we had great times together, laughing and crying. Sue's strength showed in many ways and was determined, even until her last breath to make that final decision - to pass. Sue is finally back with the love of her life and will suffer no more! I keep this candle lit, for her Daughters...
