I did not know Sue but I worked some time with her husband at the Cincinnati Fire Department. Just wanted to express my sincere condolences to him and his family and to hopefully encourage all at this time with the promise resurrection hope that Jehovah has promised soon to come. He will do this by his son Jesus. Sickness will be no more. John 5:28-29 and Rev. 21:3-4
Sincerely
