My most sincere condolences to Sue´s family and friends. I enjoyed waiting on and visiting with Sue whenever she came to Henderson´s Drug Store. And I will forever miss seeing her at mass at St. Michael Church. She would always grab my arm as she walked down the aisle past me sitting in my pew; and she never failed to wave to me and blow me a kiss as I came walking back past here from communion. Sue was a great person and always will be. Forever in my memories
