Way too many memories to list here.
Mid November,1950 is when I first met Sue when I started a new job and a new friendship.
The job sort of fizzled out, but luckily for me the friendship endured,and now the great memories will carry me through..
Susan,Laura Jo, and Frannie,I offer my deepest,heartfelt condolences to each of you and your families.
I share your sadness and we will all miss her,but she'll live on in our hearts .
Hell of a GOOD WOMAN !!
