I have just now read of Sue's passing, my condolences to Sues partner and family. Sue was a wonderful friend, tutor and mentor, who I had not seen for many years. She was a very happy, cool lady.

Dear Sue I am shocked to read this I did not know but you left a hugely impressive imprint on we who knew you some 40 years ago and watched you achieve great things over the years. My heartfelt thoughts go out to you Dave and family I still remember when you hid her ring in box of chocolates. Kerry Queenin of Queenin Law
