Sue and Fanny were like second mons to me. I loved them both and will cherish our time together. I probably spent as much time with them as their own kids. I learnt so much from these two great ladies. We all worked together and those two sisters were our family too. They were inseparable sisters and that's why I share my condolences for both. RIP sweet Sue.
