I'm so sad to hear about Sue's death. She is my cousin (our fathers were brothers), and we were best "buds" as youngsters. We both lived on farms in the Antlers area, and I can remember countless times of begging each other's parents to let one of us spend the night with the other one. I moved to Tulsa when I was 10, so we weren't able to see each other as much after that--however, every time I visited my grandparents in Antlers, she and I would get together--and occasionoally she would come to Tulsa. There was one summer when she worked with me in our uncle's fireworks business. We virtually lived with my Aunt Ruth and Uncle Ted and manned a fireworks stand. What fun we had--flirting with the boys and giggling and laughing continuously. After that we went our separate ways, and I only saw her on rare occasions. I have lots of wonderful memories of this lady. She has a special place in my heart. My condolences to her entire family.
