Where can I start to speak of this beautiful soul. I loved her as a sister in law and as a friend. She was special in so many ways and I loved our time together. I just wish we had had more. She loved everyone and was such a great hostess. Having our family at 4th of July and many other occasions. Such a great teacher and friend. Our entire family and all of her many friends will miss her terribly, until we meet again. But most of all, her wonderful husband Danny and her beautiful daughter Casey, her sweet husband John and babies will miss her the most.We love you Sue. Be surrounded in love and joy and peace. Lauria & Randy
