She enjoyed cooking Sunday dinner for her family and attending her grandchildren’s activities. Before Sue’s illness she and her family went on a cruise. Through this experience the family created lifelong memories that will never be forgotten. Sue was the peace maker and the glue that holds the family together. Even in the lowest points of her illness, her faith in God never wavered. Sue believed in doing what is a right, and making memories along the way.
