    Sue was my boss and became my friend while working together at Crane for many years. She was very proud of her family. I remember a very funny story when she was delivering mail. She said she wasn't going to carry fish in her car. At the time she didn't know "fische" was just microfilm. We laughed and laughed about that. I am grateful to call her "mom, Pat, a good friend of mine. My sympathy to the family and my friend "Pat". Love you

    Worked with Sue for many years at Crane. Always so much fun. Sue taught me how to care for ferns, I know silly. To this day my ferns are beautiful thanks to her. So sorry for your family's loss. You were the loves of her life. May she rest in peace in our Lord's arms.

    Sue was the first person I worked with at Crane. She always made me laugh. Her family was her pride and joy. Favorite memory: One day I was eating fresh cherries. Sue said she had never ate a fresh cherry. Only maraschinos. So of course I gave her a cherry a made her try it (first in her 50 years of life). She tried it and said marachinos were still her favorite. Lol. Loved Sue. She will be deeply missed.
