I am so very sad to have read of Sue's passing. What a woman she was! I have so many memories to remember of Sue and hold and my heart. Scenic routes we took together to the boo for Bon-Ton's, feeding the squirrels with her mom and Tanya at camp up north, realizing unexpectedly our camps in Brookston where right next to each other, our camping trip to oil Creek, working together at the T-Shirt factory, all the help that she gave me getting my girls ready for prom and preparing for graduation parties, not to mention all the support she gave me when I needed it the most. I'm very very deepest heartfelt sympathy Bob, Ron, Tanya and all the family members. I love you Sue rest in peace my dear friend.

Thinking back Susie, the best times were in Greenwood and playing in the creek, hotdogs over the fire, catching lightening bugs. Then there was picnics at Highland Park and dancing by the juke box. Believe this was in late 50´s early 60´s! Good memories! Charlie and I and family send our very deepest sympathies to Bob and Bill Tonya and all the family. We send our love to all. Love you Susie.. gone but never forgotten.!
