Sue was a kind and gentle person. She was a great listener, and I´m sure she was a caring nurse. She enjoyed going out to eat, traveling, and enjoying life with her husband and hero, Mike. I admired their relationship greatly. Sue loved animals, making beautiful cards and cat toys, clothes, and jewelry. She had great style, and taste. I will mostly miss our talks, hearing her laugh, and her friendship.

I knew Susan from our days at Jeff. She actually was my "Big Sister" when I enter nursing school in 1963. Susan was so friendly, supportive and always willing to give me advice during those first early months.
My deepest sympathy to her family and friends at this very difficult time.
