To Sue's family, I am sorry for your loss. I started at Community General in 1995 as an RN and Sue was a mentor and friend to me throughout my nursing career. She was sweet, smart, and passionate. If you saw her anyplace, it made you want to wash your hands. She was great in so many ways. Sue led with kindness. She will be missed.
