I cannot say enough here. I did not know. I went to school with Sue and just saw her at the store recently and we caught up about kids etc. I periodically did her hair and have always remained good acquaintenses. My love, prayers, and deep sympathies go to her family and all who loved and cared about her. She was truly a gentle soul at heart. Take care and know she loved you.
