I liked sending Sue the cards that would make her laugh for no apparent reason. When I think of Sue, I think of her laugh. You couldn't help but smile when you heard Sue laugh. There was many a day during the few years that we worked together in DGS that the sound of her laugh brought me out of a funk. I am so glad I had the honor and the opportunity to know and love Sue. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.

Our thought and prayers go out to your family Dave. Sue was a very special woman. Her and I had become close thru emails and mail. She always had very incouraging words to give me. I am going to truly miss her.
Love,
Stovall Family
