We are so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Mother. Sue was truly one special lady to each of us.
I bought shoes from her when in high school, and also for my children at J C Penney's at Almeda mall. My son called her Sue Sue. ❤️She cooked special things for Mark when he was ill. I know that's what made him well again.
We miss her already as she was always so special to us. We love each of you so much. God Bless all of you in this difficult time. Love, Gay & Mark.

We are so sorry, Sue was a wonderful lady and a very sweet friend. I met her at Penney’s when I moved to Houston in 1983 and adored her! Later, her daughter, Roxanne would become one of my great friends. Sue will be missed but, never forgotten. A beautiful, new star in the Heavens from this day forward, to watch over all of your families . Keep her memories alive in your hearts ❤️
Warmest thoughts and condolences. Always ready to take us skating or watch my Coca-Cola cans fall with laughter. Such a fun loving spirit and always a smile. I still have my "Smart Card" handmade by Mrs. Smart. The signs placed on the dirty clothes hamper: I am a dirty clothes hamper, I eat clothes….. But with 7 kiddos – you had to be creative. May she rest in peace.
My sweet Mawmaw, oh how I’m going to miss you. Thank you for all the great memories! Take care of mom for me. I love you, until we meet again.
