So sorry to read that Sue is gone. She sure did love her Bingo !!!, & for a few years way back when, I was her Bingo partner. She also introduced me to my wife to be, Judy. I have fond memories of Bingo, & the times we shared at the Pour House on Grand Central, with our group of friends.

To Suzanne's family:
I was sadden to her that Sue had passed away. I had known that she was not well, but didn't know if she still lived in Elmira. I remember all those times playing kick the can when we were kids and running around in the court. RIP Sue my friend

I'm glad my children and I got to share this life with you. I remember when I was little, you would come to get Azine to stay with Philip and Andy, and of course I always wanted to come too. I remember sitting behind you driving and holding on to the back seat and always pulling your hair. I also remember going to bingo with you, I always wanted to go with you. As an adult..we shared lots of laughs, I am glad to have these memories of you, love you, fly high Susie Cue :-)
