I have fond memories of Sue, as she was my first grade teacher. She was so sweet to me and all of her students. Our family became close to hers and Rhonda and I shared some fun playdates as children...Sue was truly a wonderful woman and she will be missed greatly! Blessings to Jim, Rhonda, John, and the entire family. All my love, Mendi

I am saddened to hear of Sue’s passing. She was a beautiful soul and always treated me like one of her own. When Sue loved you, she loved big. She was one of my favorite people and one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known. I loved my time working with her and Jim and have so many precious memories. I am out of town and sorry that I won’t be able to attend her service but will be praying for you all.
