I remember Sue as a very hard working lady. Sue was our neighbor for proximally 20 years. Sue had a great career in real estate. We will miss Sue leaving her home. She always did a great job of keeping her landscaping.

I will always remember Sue. We met in the mid 70's at Glick Realty. We could always share a laugh at some of life's interesting moments. Sue was always a friend to me and treated me with kindness. My thoughts are with the family.
