I appreciated Sue's witness for the Lord! At New Life Christian Bookstore, she was a wonderful prayer warrior, a Light and witness for Jesus. We had times of enjoyable Christian fellowship at the Whistle Stop. She will be missed! (Matthew 5:16)

Sue was a dear friend, prayer partner and a woman of God. She loved Jesus so much and everyday was a wonderful day, as she always stated when asked how she was.
