"Larry, Rodney, Janie and my Queenan family, we lost a great one in Sue. When you were with Sue, you were in good, fun company. There was never a dull moment when she was around. I'll never forget how beautiful she looked at her party wearing a Tiara. She had a smile plastered on her face all night.
Sue will surely be missed by all. I pray that Larry, Rodney, Janie and Sue's grands find comfort by the love and support Sue received during her illness. She was even surprised by the out pouring of love for her. Open up the Heaven's, here comes Sue."
