Sue was our choirmate for many years at FPC. She was also my "lunch buddy" and I will miss our good times together and especially her laughter and honesty. She had a heart for people in need and was always there to be of service. That was her ministry for the Lord and many people were blessed by her. Heartfelt sympathy to Teddy and the family.
