Tuck,
We're thinking about you. Sorry to hear about your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. She was a loving wonderful person. I have some beautiful flowerpots she painted for me and they are a beautiful reminder of her talent. God Bless all of you.
Sue was a valued colleague and friend in the Mayo Clinic Department of Development. Blessings to her memory and sincere condolences to her family. She will be missed and treasured in memory. With respect, Matt Dacy
Sue was such a sweet, lovely, talented lady. I met Sue as a Garden Club member here in the Plainview area and learned that she had
a talent for painting on ceramics, etc.. I "commissioned" her to paint designs on lighted glass blocks - I have two awesome lighted glass
blocks with darling snowmen on them and one of two lighted glass blocks with a beautiful steaming cup of coffee/java painted on it!
God bless Sue; she will be missed.
My wife Pat (Egan) and I extend our sincere condolences to Sue’s family. We are both high school classmates of Sue’s. What a sweet person she was ! We remember her fondly.
My deepest sympathy with your loss of a beautiful caring lady. I was her mother’s hospice nurse a number of years back and I will never forget the love and care you both gave to her. My prayers to you and your family
My heart goes out to Tuck and family. I was so fortunate to become one of Sue's friends while working in Development. She was a great storyteller and we shared many laughs. I will miss her but know the angels will welcome her with open arms.

I had the pleasure of working with Sue in the Development Department at Mayo Clinic. She was a very talented artist and painted many beautiful flower parts with Easter scenes on them. I have several displayed around my house right now. I remember her taking such good care of her mother, another delightful soul. I’m so sorry for your loss. Heaven has gained another angel.
