Joe and I would like to say we are so sorry for your loss. We always enjoyed chatting with your mom on garage sale weekends in AP and whenever she visited. She was always ready with a smile and a kind word. We are very sorry for your loss. Joe & Sherry Venderley

I am sorry to hear of Sue's death. I graduated at the same time as Sue, and I thought she was a bright, very nice person. Again, I am very sorry. Roger Reber

My condolences in your loss. I worked with Sue at Christopher & Banks many years ago. Her personality was a "hoot" and she had so much energy. I was glad to have the opportunity to work with her. She made it fun.
