Hi Suebee just wanted to say hello my dearest friend. I cannot tell you how many times I think of you and the dearest friendship we had. I still miss you my darling friend and I am grateful to have known you and Dennis. I especially appreciate how you made me a better person by your old school pearls of wisdom. Love and miss you, Your friend and partner in crime. Marilyn

Sue & I worked together for many years as onsite management for a large Homeowners Association in Loudoun Co. Virginia. We were a close knit small office of 7. Sue was a true soldier in every sense of the word. She and I shared much laughter and many tears together. We were determined to make things better and we did and we managed to make a difference. I enjoyed her unwavering faith and lectures when I lost my temper, her ready smile and when she left the office in the evening I remember her going to the soda machine and saying "Well ole girl I got my Mountain Dew for the road" for her 2 hour trip home to West Virginia. She never complained and my biggest regret is that she really did not let me know how really sick she was. But that would be her going on to sing with God's large choir of angels not wanting us to make a fuss. She was very brave and I will always admire her. I extend my heart felt sympathy to her family and Dennis you must keep the faith I know she was everything to you. She was my SueBee and I dearly loved her and she will always hold a special place in my heart. Roger & I pray for all of her family, she was loved by many!!

Sue was the best. I am so glad my Dad decided to marry her 20 years ago. She was a great step-mother and always treated me and my brother like one of her own. I am proud to have known her and glad she came into our lives, She will be greatly missed.

Sue and I worked together in Virginia for many years and became good friends. She was our sunshine in the office and taught us many useful sayings such as "sorry about your bad luck!" Sue's humor and work ethics were an insperation to all of us in the office. She will be missed beyond description and I will keep her and her family in my prayers!

I am very sorry to hear the news about Sue. I used to work with Sue before she left for Florida. She was a wonderful person who always had a smile on her face a whistle on her lips and love in her heart. She will be missed.
