The loveliest person to walk this earth. She was the embodiment of grace and professionalism. She brightened every room, touched every life, lifted everyone´s spirits. The sun will not shine as bright again without her.

Sue--you left us way too soon...
33 years guiding the PVH and then UCHealth (North) Medical Staff Office seems like a long time on paper, but in reality it passed in a flash. I will miss your mischievous corner-of-the-mouth grin and associated giggle...your skillful diplomacy...your unwavering discretion...your encyclopedic knowledge of all things "medical staff"--the rules, the laws, the players. You leave us with a large void in our hearts. Rest peacefully...
