I worked with Sudy maybe 25 years ago when we were both doing home health.. She was like a dog with a bone when she was trying to get something done for one of our patients but always sharp witted and funny. I have thought of her many times since we last saw each other and was sad to hear of her passing, but have enjoyed the memories that came back to me.
