I taught with Sue at Gabe Meyer Elementary from 1985 to 1989. I enjoyed working with her. I could always tell that she cared about her students and that she was a very dedicated teacher. My deepest sympathy to her family.

(Continued from previous entry) "Sam". Her home was beautifully decorated and immaculate. I will never forget the look on her face when she told me stories about her children. She could not be prouder of you, Tommie. Your Mom was such a class act. She was such a gracious hostess. I am so glad that I was able to get to know her. She will be missed greatly by her Trinity Presbyterian Family. You all will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Kindest Regards,
Jen Jacuzzi
