Dear Rhonda, I had every intention of seeing you yesterday, which didn´t happen, so I could share my sadness for the loss of Sue. I ushered with Sue (Gaillard, Spoleto, Dock) for many years and enjoyed her humor and kindness during all of that time. Since her retirement from ushering we met for lunch when I was regaled by her delightful story telling. I loved visiting w both of you at the Symphony events. Sue and I shared a love of literature and the arts. She was also very funny which I adored
Hoping to still see you at some future time, I am sorry for her loss in your lives and in mine. Patty

Erin and Rhonda, I´m so sorry for your loss. I´m so glad she was at Porter-Gaud while I was there and that I had the opportunity to have her positive influence on me both as a teacher and a coach. Much love to you both.

Sue was one of the few people at the College of Charleston to be given an A by Nan Morrison. I'm sorry we lost touch.

Tony was blessed to know Sue, longer than I .. His Cousin Sandra's best friend "Sue" since they both were 14. I met her in the 70s, and quickly learned of her kindness & friendly nature. Always was such a joy when we came to visit Sandra and Sue could be there for the laughter while we celebrated the the visit .... I do remember that Sue and Sandra both came to our home on the way to visit Sandra's Granddaughter Ashley ... She touched so so many hearts not just in her profession, but in the world with her loving kind ways... Tony and I are sadden we couldn't see her one more time... however know she is safe and content in the arms of our dear Lord ... Prayers to her children and loved ones. Betsy & Tony DeVault Hemingway, SC

I have lost a wonderful person who was a great friend to both myself and my wife. We were colleagues for many years and I was lucky to have that experience. I offer heartfelt condolences to Rhonda and Erin and all her relatives.

My heart aches for you Rhonda and Erin. It is so hard to lose a mom. And yours was dear. After basketball games which she supported eagerly, we´d end up at sleep overs at your home. She made us the best breakfast and lunches. French toast and grilled cheese sandwiches. She was so supportive and loving. Very fond memories of also playing board games with her and Beverly Oswald on Friday or Saturday nights! She was fun. You´re all in my prayers. Love Tree

I remember Mrs Chanson with great fondness. Mrs. Chanson helped instill me in a lifelong habit and enjoyment of reading, writing, and public speaking. She had a warmth, sense of humor, and genuine interest in the success of her students.
