Sue was such a compassionate and kind person. She hired me at WSSB and was so good to the kids and her staff. Sue truly cared about people always willing to give people a hand up, helping all to reach their true potential. I will never forget her and her generous spirit. So sorry for our loss of her on earth but knowing that she is now in heaven. My condolences to her family.
