Sue embarked across the country with a group of high school students in a variety of vans when she chaperoned our church youth group trip to Kayenta, Arizona. She quickly became known as "Mama Sue" as she and Shirley Evans made dozens of sandwiches and drove us safely across those hundreds of miles. That's how I'll remember her. Blessings to all the family.
