I knew Sue from the 5th grade on up through marrying her brother and after our divorce after 19 years always kept hearing about her through my children. The greatest time for me was 2 years ago when I went with my daughter, Janice, to West Plains and the children persuaded Sue and I, two old women, to get on kayaks, which we did and enjoyed it! Sue was a wonderful mother and enjoyed being with her family. Girls, memories are precious and no one can take those away from you. Please accept my condolences on the passing of your wonderful mother. Praying for your peace and comfort.
