I am just now learning of Sue´s passing. I´m not on FB so don´t always learn of happenings till after the fact.
Please know I´m sorry for your loss. Sue was a person with the ability to converse with anyone & make them feel special. I have fond memories of motorcycle days & when the guys did line work
