Sue and Family, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I worked with your Mom at Stadley Rough and she was always so wonderful to me. Of course I also remember her from when we were kids and I visited your home.
I know it is never easy to say goodbye to a parent. May you find some comfort in knowing all the joy her family gave to her. May she rest in peace.
