So sorry to hear about Sue. She was such a nice person. I only knew her through card club – Phase 10. She was always cheerful and played a mean game of Phase 10. She will be missed. Your whole family is in my thoughts and prayers. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend her funeral.

Sue was a good friend for over 60 years. We met at welcome wagon club when my sister Betty was the welcome hostess. We got together the first Saturday of every month for breakfast. There were at least 10 of us, last count four .We had lots of fun in the Red Hat Peppers group for over 20 years. I last spoke with her a few days ago to inform her of our good friend Marianne‘s death. God love her!

Sue and her family were always welcoming whenever our families would get together. And now your moms are celebrating together in heaven, what a strange coincidence that they passed so close to one another. She will be missed. Hugs to the boys and their families.
