I'm so sorry to hear of Sue Ann's passing. She was a sweet and down-to-earth woman who I often remember very fondly. She used to make me laugh when I worked for Tony.

Having had the honor to hold Sue Ann's hand on several occasions: was to hold on to the warmest radiance of love and tenderness. A connection I will never forget and will always miss deeply.

My sincere condolences to your family. May God "who comforts us in all our trials" (2 Cor 1:4) comfort you and your family at such a difficult time. I know God will help you to endure because he cares for you (1Peter 5 :7).

I have such wonderful memories of the time that I spent with Sue Ann. She was an incredibly beautiful human - on the outside and inside - one classy lady!! We had many great laughs together and I will always consider myself lucky that I got to spend time with her. We love you Sue Ann!
