Phil, Nancy & Jeff - we have just now heard about this. Mom is heart broken. So sorry we were not there for all of you. Prayers for peace and comfort during the difficult days ahead. Love to you all, Melissa, Melinda, Clay & Sue
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.
She was the most wonderful Mom in the world. I will miss her always. She will live forever in my heart. I can only hope to live up to her legacy as a Mother and Grandmother.
I spent many hours working and laughing with Sue in Student Registration. She was a loyal worker and a good friend. She told great stories! My condolences to Phil and the entire family.
Worked with Sue in the Little Rock School District for many, many years. Sorry to hear of her passing, she was a wonderful, kind, and very professional to work with. I have many memories of Sue always being ready to help me on any issues. I pray for her family and love ones for strength, peace, and God's love during this difficult time.
In Gods Love,
Kathy Jarrett

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.
We will celebrate our 49th anniversary the end of the month.
I think of you every time I see the refrigerator
magnet you gave me from Ireland.
I still dream about boxing signs.
Sincerely,

Worked in Little Rock School District Central Office 4 years with Sue. In deepest sympathy!
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...
