My Aunt Sue was one of the strongest ladies that I ever had the privilege of knowing. She was truly special and not only a sister to my mother, but her best friend, as well. I cannot imagine the reunion between them in Heaven right now. Sending prayers and love to you, Sheila and Leslie and your families.
Sue was a kind and caring woman. I’ve known her for a long time. She was very sweet and always smiling or laughing. She will be missed. Im so sorry Shelia,Jamie,Brian and Sarah for y’alls loss.
