Sue will b greatly missed I was a former co worker of hers at HCL she pretty much trained me. I loved listening about her times out at sturgis and how she rode her Harley! She is defiantly a strong woman and loved how she didn’t put up with crap!!! One “tough cookie”. I greatly respected and admired her. Very sorry for your loss, thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends
My sympathy to the family of Sue. I knew Sue for many years when we met at Ruby Chesters daycare. She was a very good person, always there to help. We enjoyed many fun times together having coffee! May God Bless her memory.
Our hearts go out to Sue’s family. Sue was a huge asset to Apt 4 at The Home for Creative living. She was a top notch trainer and staff always looked up to her. Her smile and laugh (which there was always plenty of) made every co-worker look forward to working along side her. Her love of individuals with disabilities was such an inspiration to new employees. We know that she had an awesome reunion with HCL individuals who went to heaven before her…heaven is now alive with laughter. We will all remember Sue and feel her in our hearts.
