My sincere sympathy to her children, grandchildren, sisters, and all the family. I knew Sue from working in the Neonatal Unit. We didn't work the same shift. But in 2008, I started to join her and other coworkers as part of their lunch group. Lots of good conversations, sharing, laughter and probably a few tears. Have many photos and memories of times together. We missed her when she couldn't come any more and will continue to miss her contribution to our lives. She was certainly welcomed into the kingdom of heaven. God Bless and give you peace. Barb Weishuhn Barb Weishuhn
