My sincere sympathy to Chuck and the rest of Susan’s family. I worked with Sue in the kitchen for 8 years at Calvary Fellowship Homes. She was a very nice person to work with. Sue had a big heart for her co-workers. She was always interested in how they were doing. She was always telling me about her camping experiences with Chuck & how much she enjoyed it. And she loved "Pupper" very much, always telling me how silly her dog was. God bless you all! I know time will slowly heal the sorrow you feel, but she will be in your heart & memories forever!
