My name is Greg Haynes and worked with Sue for many years on and off. Sue was an inspiration to us all. I will always remember her steadfast drive and ambition. she always found away and encourage us all with a simply qoute"we can figure it out" and yes she was right, we often figured it out no matter what the business challenge was. She was not only a leader but she was a mentor to many. We are all better for knowing her!!! May God bless Sue and the entire family.

I regret not going to St. Vincents to say goodbye to Sue. I knew her years ago when she was part owner of the Four Farthing. She gave me one of my first cats.

I work in the building where Sue has a condo. I remember that she was always VERY personable and kind when I talked with her. I was stunned to pick up an issue of Crains recently to find out that she's what they call "kind of a big deal around here" (to say the least). As a woman in business who also has humble roots in Aurora, IL, I was blown away by her achievements and her utter graciousness & humility. I'm sure she was an inspiration to many people and is probably in the next life, looking around for things that need improvement or ideas that can be built upon! Sue, I hope the food is good where you're at, and that your loved ones are comforted today. Thank you for being a bigshot with a kind heart.

I remember her riding her home made tricycle around in circles in front of our house on grove street. I knew her Father and Mother and was a life long friend of Moon/ Rich Gin her older brother. What a talented lady she turned out to be! Jim Corbin.

We were neighbors and playmates until we were seven. Then I would see her on and off through the years. She did so much with her life and I loved watching all her accomplishments. She was quite the girl!

Lived near her on Grove St in Aurora as young children - attended Brady school with her and she was in our class of 1959 from East Aurora! She was always kind and a friend to everyone! Last time I saw her was our 5 yr reunion! I've always so admired all she has accomplished in her life! Proud to have known her ! God Bless and deepest sympathies to her close friends and family!
