Almost 8 years later I read this and still cry and feel the pain. The Lord and my family are the only things that keep me going. I thank you for introducing me to faith and drive that you had and hope you are enjoying the everlasting joy of eternity. I wish my children could have known you for a little bit of time but that was not Gods plan. I hope he lets you see how they are growing from up above. Love your son.

Dear Lisa and Jimmy. My deepest sympathy for you both in the passing of your beloved mother. Sue was my friend, where we both worked at the Garrison, Fort Monmouth, NJ. She has been an inspiration to many with her hope, faith, and will to survive. If there is anything I can help you with, please contact me at the Fort. Sherry ([email protected])

My deepest sympathy to Sue's family. She was courageous in her battle to beat her illness. I admired her for her positive attitude even when things got tough.

I was so shocked when I heard on of Sue's passing. She was such a wonderful woman and will be greatly missed by all who were priviledged to have known her. Sue was a fighter and I don't know of anyone who didn't love her. As a matter of fact, she was on my invite list for my retirement luncheon the middle of Oct, and I'm deeply saddened to have had to take her off the list; it would have been a blessing for me to have her attend. My deepest condolences to all of her family. - Bev Graham, Ocean, NJ (from Armstrong Hall)
