I met Sue two years ago in Leesburg Florida and we became immediate friends. Her love of life and those she cared for was inspiring. Sue always had a kind word and smile for anyone she came in contact with. She was a fountain of knowledge about life, good books, and the good things that make a day worth living. She is greatly missed.

Aunt Sue was full of life and love, and the world will be that much more boring without her in it. Her wit and laughter will be dearly missed. I'll miss you and love you always, Aunt Sue!

You were kind and caring, with an incredible inner strength. I miss your quick wit, and unique ability to help others who have, at times, lost their way. Someone said, "You don't make friends, you recognize them." I miss you terribly my friend!
