Sue was my Lab Director at Crittenton and I just loved and respected her so much. I felt she truly cared from the bottom of her heart. She was always cheerful and made coming to work a better place for all of us. She always made me laugh. I was truly happy she found happiness with Richard Zunker, she deserved it. I wish her happiness in Heaven with her family and she left a lot of wonderful memories here on her journey. God Bless you Sue, RIP. Love always, Karen St.Dennis
