Dear Jessica, Glenn & all of Sue's family. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you. Sue was a wonderful woman, so full of life and laughs with such a caring spirit. Know that she'll always be a part of your life and will be keeping tabs on everyone from above! I'm so thankful that my sister Barbara brought Sue to Helena, Mt in September. It was wonderful to see her. May you find peace in the many loving memories you hold in your hearts.
