Sue was a great lady. In my career at CIGNA she was a Supervisor, Confidant, Peer and most important a FRIEND. She and I shared something that many did not, an autistic child. The commitment she made to her nephew Jason, is more than most give to their natural born children. She taught me well, and gave me the strength and patience to deal with the day to day reality that most do not comprehend. My prayers go out to her family, but I know even though she has passed on, she will always be with us.

Sue was a very nice person. I worked with her at CIGNA for 8 months before relocating to Florida in 1998. I will remember her as a very kind and helpful person. She was always willing to take the time to teach someone, something. That must be a family trait as her sister Judy was a great school techer of mine. Diane and her family were neighbors of mine when I was a kid. The whole family is a great bunch. I am very sorry for the loss of Sue. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone.
