Sue has been a cherished friend to me for about 56 years since we pledged Delta Gamma at Mizzou and I will feel a real loss, along with her family and friends, but know she is now at peace and finally free from the almost constant pain she had the last 3 years. One of my favorite memories with Sue was when she took me for a very informative and extremely fun tour of Boston back in 1980 when I was visiting from St. Louis. So loved looking at all the family pictures displayed here. Phil and I extend our sincere sympathy to Jeff, Leslie, Jen and the rest of the family. Hope all went well with the service at the lighthouse today.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Sue. She was the warm and welcoming smile at every Delta Gamma event to all who saw her. I first met Sue at an event when I had just had my first child and was experiencing my first night out. She was so happy and filled with such warmth. Thank you for the beautiful pictures of her-warm thoughts and blessings to all of her family and friends. We are blessed to have known her.
