Tammy Rae wrote a sympathy message

“Sue has been a wonderful person for the many years I’ve known her. She was an awesome mother, grandmother & friend. She told you like it was even if it wasn’t pretty. I always admired her for that. For no reason, she presented me with a broach of a dragonfly. I cherish her & think of her every time I look at it. Sue took one of my sisters under her wing as a second daughter. I have always been grateful that she did that for her. There’ll always be a special place in our hearts for her!”
