My sincere condolences to the family. I haven’t seen Sue for many years but when I was a township clerk back in the early 2000’s, I frequented the clerk’s office and she was always a bright smiling face letting me in the door. She always asking how you were doing. She will be very missed by many. My thought and prayers to the family for healing and peace.
