Sue will always have a special place in my heart. I will miss her dearly. I enjoyed her friendship for over 50 years. We met working at the baby shoe factory in Nanticoke in the 70's and became best friends. I will miss her letters and our long phone calls. Family was very important to Sue and she was very proud of her son, Aaron. My deepest sympathy to Aaron, Ed, Jeanine, Debbie and their families. Prayers, hugs and love to all of you. Linda

Sue and I spent so many years together playing baby dolls, Barbie dolls, house and sitting on the concrete walls outside my house on Robert St watching the cars go by. So many childhood memories to reflect upon. I enjoyed hanging at the Blockus house and spending time with her family. Being a mom was the highlight of her life and I never got to meet Aaron but know how much she loved him and how proud she was of him. Sending hugs to the entire family and blessed that Sue and I had so many great childhood memories together. Rest in peace Sue
