Phil,
We wee out of own in Washington D.C. when we were notified that Sue has passed away. I am disappointed that we could not be there to celebrate her life with you and the many relatives and friends. I surely enjoyed the years that Sue and I worked together at ARTA and the times that we shared together when the four of us went out to eat fellowship. She was a very fine lady and always made those around her very comfortable. I look back on our times together with fond memories. God Bless you as you move forward. I know you were blessed with a great help mate throughout all the years.

Condolences to Phil and his family. Sue was a dear friend to me when I first came to work for Retired Teachers Housing. She was there for me when I lost my father with such love and support I will never forget. We had such good times with Charlotte at lunches laughing and telling stories. She made my life better by being Sue. Her heart was always full of joy for people. She will be missed in this life.

I am soo sorry to read about your wife passing. I know you will miss her and want you to know my prayers and thoughts
are with you.

I think of you every time I see the refrigerator

To the family of Sue Pederson...I pray that in the days to come that your loss is easier to bear. She was a good friend and co-worker. She would say this all the time when asked about work..."I just work here and carry my lunch." May she rest in peace...
