My sympathies to both of you. Sue and my mom, Carol Colby, were good friends for along time. Sue was so good about sending cards very often when my mom was ill. I also remember her love of animals, especially her bird. She stopped frequently at my mom's house to see the dogs and give them a treat. All of us could use a friend like her.

Sue provided me a safe haven and devoted companionship. She was my best friend & family. She made the difference in my life that kept me singing. With abiding gratitude, I bid her a loving farewell, for now. Sincere condolences to Sues family and friends.
