I just heard of your mom's passing. I too worked for 17 years with her at Abbott and she was a ray of sunshine no matter what! She had some tough assignments over the years but always had an ear for other's problems and woes. I feel fortunate to have had her guidance and assistance over the years. Smile on Sue, it is now all good.

My heart is saddened upon learning of Sue's passing. I met Sue on her first day at Abbott. She joined the group I worked in and we became friends instantly. I have many wonderful memories of our friendship and I reflect on them often. May she rest in peace. Amy and Julie, your Mom loved you both very much and I see her smiling face in each of you. One day you will be reunited.

Mac and I are very saddened to hear this news. Sue was a very nice neighbor and a sweet lady who will be missed in the neighborhood. I had many delightful conversations with her throughout the years and she was a pleasure to know. She and I shared a great love for animals, especially dogs. We will miss her and seeing sweet Sassy in the neighborhood. Mac and I extend our deepest sympathy to Sue's family. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to Sue's family on her passing. Sue was wonderful to work with, always cheerful, ready to help you with anything. She prepared many presentation slides for international talks I gave and she was a trouper as we figured out language and humor to liven them up. She made difficult days easier and took wonderful care of my cat Max when I had to travel. I especially remember one trip into Chicago for an office party. We rode the river taxi and she thought it was quite an adventure. Good, good memories.
