Sue Ann and I were classmates at west side. I recall our being good friends during those years, have wondered about her at times since then, lost total track of her. Am saddened now upon learning of her passiinig, but glad to know now that my childhood friend went on to have a good life full of family and friends. God rest her.

I am so sorry for the loss of Sue. She fought so hard and stayed in good spirits as much as possible. With a smile on her face, she was always a joy to meet. She and I attended elementary and high school together. This good-hearted woman will be so missed by her family and friends. Phyllis Russell
