A dear sweet lady. One of the first to welcome us to First Baptist Church when we retired to this area. She surely heard "well done good and faithful servant". With deepest sympathies to her loved ones.

Dear Family, Sue was an icon in the community. She was my Sunday School teacher for years and was wonderful teacher. Her devotion to her family was very apparent. May God comfort as only He can during the coming days.
