As a teenager Sue was like a second Mom. She was someone you could talk to and get advice about anything. Later in years I could still stop by her house and she was the same friendly Sue always welcoming me like she had seen me just yesterday. She was a great lady and I will miss her.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sue was a wonderful person. We worked together at FCB and shared many good times and laughs. She loved her family so much!

She was more than my mother, she was my inspiration. I have tried all my life to be the person she was - I am not, believe me! She was a mother, wife, caregiver, daughter, friend, volunteer, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, we always called her superwoman! It was very true. She was such an organized woman. We were latch key kids before the word was coined. Some how she always managed to work a full-time job, be there for us, garden and still cook home-made meals. She attended college while three of us were still at home and our aged grandfather had moved in with us. She sewed her garments and mine! That is where I first learned the art of sewing - with her. Oh, and lest we forget - she was a super seller on Ebay! EZ grandma was her id on Ebay! I will love you forever and ever. Give Tom and everyone a big hug for me.... Lisa
