Ted and I were very sorry to hear of Sue's passing. She brightened every single day of our jobs at Calumet High School. Sue would come in the Nursing Office and we would trade little stories about our mutual favorite TV Character, Alf! We both had the Alf Dolls! :) What fun she was!!! She will be missed, but lives on forever in our memories. Our condolences to her family and friends.

My sincere sympathy to Sue's family and friends. She was a dedicated and efficient secretary as well as a trusted friend of faculty and students alike. In the 13 years I spent as a guidance counselor, I cannot remember her ever missing a day of work. May she rest in peace.
