Dear Pete, Chris, Krista and sweet Harper. I am sending you are deepest condolences to you all. The passing of Sue came as such a shock to myself and my family.

Was always a ray of sunshine and I could hear her laugh now, in the halls of London Life. And knowing she had her first grand-baby last year, I can just see her beaming and spoiling her like crazy. Our hearts are breaking for you all. A huge loss to her family & friends (and I know she had a lot of them - we all loved Sue). Sending you big hugs and love at this very difficult time. xo
