My mother was the sister of Sue's husband Dick, so I and my sister Mary Jane and brother John have considered her to be our aunt and ourselves to be her nieces/nephew. She and Dick were certainly part of our lives on holidays and, in their younger days, on the many occasions that Dick and Sue took a spin up to visit New Hampshire. (It was always fun to seek out the best cat calendar that I could find for her at Christmas - she did love cats!)
We were saddened by her unexpected death at what is really, these days, quite a young age.
In reminiscing about Sue, what comes to mind is how thoroughly good-hearted she always seemed. She was also usually smiling, cheerful and kind even during times when her life was not easy. I was glad that, after losing Dick following his lengthy illness, she had found happiness again with Rob, because she was a person who had a lot to give.
I will surely miss her.
