I knew "Sue Sue" when she was probably 2 and I was 5. We played with our Toni dolls on her front porch. She was so cute and sweet. I lost touch when my family moved when I was 15. She is a beautiful bride in the video and she and James look she they had a happy life together. I never forgot she was born on Texas Independence Day! I will always love my little friend.

I feel very blessed to have known Sue. Her love for her family was unparalleled and she was greatly loved in return. I know she will be missed and offer our greatest sympathy. The beautiful photo attached of Sue and Tracey is from my and Ryan's wedding 21 years ago. I hope it brings a smile.
