My sincerest sympathies to Sue's family on her passing. I was a co-worker of hers at AT&T and remember her as a very nice person. We would often talk when we saw each other in our break room. I was very saddened to hear of her passing.

I am so sorry to hear of Sue's passing. I had the pleasure of working with her at at&t downtown. She was one of the kindest most thoughtful humans I have ever known. A hard worker and honest to a fault. If you asked Sue for her opinion, be ready for her answer. She was not afraid to speak her mind! Sue, I will think of you often, you will be missed. You brought a lot of cheer into this world, thank you for that!
