I knew Sue for a short time that she lived in Johnson City where I did her hair. She was always bright, sunny, and had a smile. My condolences to her family.

My sincere condolences to Sue's family. I worked/volunteered with Sue at the One Acre Cafe for quite some time. We always had good chats about our families, vacations, and lives. I have missed her at One Acre. May you rest in eternal peace Sue!
