We are very sorry 😢 to hear that Sue has passed away, she will be missed by all of the people who knew her. She was a very good mother in-law, and a very good grandmother to all of the grandchildren and great grandchildren. We knew Sue in Arizona when her son Bill married our daughter Lisa. Sue is now resting in peace.
