Sue will be missed. I got to know her while visiting my folks at Cambrian senior Living. Although Sue was a resident with Alzheimer's, she still showed her loving heart to all. She often would come in my folks room and sit and smile. She would gently lean her head on mine and smile , while I consoled my mom and dad. When mom was in hospice and passing, Sue sat with us and seemed at peace. Rest in the arms of God now Sue. You were a gift to those who were lucky enough to know you, even during your journey with this awful disease.
