Our deepest sympathy to Sue's family at this sad time. I would often see Sue walking at the track early in the mornings. I enjoyed her easy conversation about family and current events in our lives. She was always funny and inspired me with her dedication to that walk every morning and to a joyful life. I will miss that smile. We hope your wonderful memories will comfort you in your loss.

To be in her company when Lou Otatti and she freewheeled on a myriad of topics ranging from the state of education to the wonder of the theater was to be in the company of bright, determined and often wildly funny ladies who paved the way for their students to succeed. A life well lived. Rmember with love and know that the memories of her will live on.

My deepest condolences to your family at Sue's passing. She was my English teacher at Perth Central (Class of '83). I will never forget the ever-present twinkle in her eye and her hilarious and piquant humor. Mostly, I will never forget how encouraging she was to me and her guidance to go out there and really LIVE life to the fullest. Sue made a deep, lasting impression on my life. God speed, you brilliant firebrand of a woman!
