So very sorry to read of Sue's passing. She was in many of my classes at North High. Always warm, friendly, & gracious to everyone. Not surprised she became a teacher. Perfect profession for her. I have no doubt her family & friends will miss her terribly. It seems our 1955 graduating class is dwindling more & more every day.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
