To Jim and all of Sue's family: We are out of town and are sorry we cannot attend Sue's services. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I will remember always the loving care she received from all of you. You gave her peace and comfort every day. I will remember her smiling face and of course her fine cooking and baking. Her memory will always be alive in "Sue's".

It's unfortunate that I didn't get to live near you growing up. I do have lots of memories of you, and they're always of you laughing and telling jokes and that beautiful smile of yours! Have a party with Mommom,Poppop, Lib, Rodney, Donald and Jimmy. You'll be missed by all.

Love you Aunt Sue! Miss you already! Hope you and my grandmother Lib are already enjoying a great reunion and having fun breaking wind and telling jokes! I have lots of special memories of both of you and will carry them in my heart forever. Wish I could capture the teardrops that are rolling down my face right now and place them in this message. Please tell Mom Mom I said hello and give her a big hug for me. Miss you both very much!
