To Sue's family,

I am sending you tranquil thoughts at this sad time. I knew Sue when we worked in Child Psychiatry in the 80's. She taught me a lot, especially about how to have fun. She will be truly missed.

Dear Leo,Vic,Pat,Rosemary,Bob,Joe and Peggy,

Our prayers and thoughts are with you today as you feel the loss of your mother. We have many fond memories of her. We met her and your father when we were both young couples living next door to each other. Our friendship grew over the years as we came to know her as a kind and compassionate lady. We'll never forget the many times we attended the movies with your parents, and all those retreats to Springbank that Pat and Sue made.

Love,

Chris & PJ Hamilton

I met "Sue" in the early 1970"s when she decided to return to nursing - she worked 4 hours a week in the Cystic Fibrosis Clinic at the

Medical University of SC. At the time, the clinic was part of the State Crippled Childrens Program. I will always treasure some of the many good times we had!! Was always delighted to run into Sue in her many "fields" of work, family and love of life. My condolences to

all of her family - am sure that she left you all with many memories -as she did with all of us who knew her.
