    Ms. Sue was a wonderful person who was one of the best teachers I had at Hazen High. She loved her students and made sure we knew it! Later, we became friends and she was always concerned and caring to me and my family. May God bless you all as you navigate life without her. Sending lots of love and asking God to comfort you all as only He can.

    Bobbie, Gerald, Kim and family.
    Many prayers for each of you during this difficult time. Sue was a few years younger than me, but in our small school age was not a factor in friendships. I was also friends with all her siblings and they were a great family with special parents. Sue was always such a sweet person and I know she will be sorely missed by friends and family. May God bless and comfort all of you as only He can. Much love to each of you.
