I'm so sorry to hear of Sue's passing although I haven't seen her in many years, I haven't forgotten her. She was the godmother of my brother Christopher and I, and she always treated us like family even though we were not actually related. I have many nice memories of Sue and the Demers family, and I will always remember Sue as a kind and warm person, who always seemed to have a smile on her face.
