Greg, Amy and Jeff,

Sue and I shared some good times and good laughs through many years. She was a caring person and indeed a good friend when I needed one and will be greatly missed.

She deeply loved her family. Treasure those memories and keep her close to your heart.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
