Sending warm wishes to the family during this difficult time. I worked with Sue for 7 years at Wilmington University and am deeply saddened by her passing. She was an endlessly kind, patient, thoughtful, and generous friend and colleague to me. I enjoyed hearing tales about her kids and grandchildren over the years. It is clear how deeply she loved you all and through her I feel like I know some of you myself. May you be comforted by fond memories as you mourn.

I am proud to have known and worked with Sue for 16 years. She was one of the first people to welcome me when I was the new girl. She was kind and funny. She never was too busy to help me if I had a question. I will truly miss Sue and will always remember what a wonderful person she was. I pray for her and her family.
