I practiced Buddhism with Sue and Joan for many years. I'll always remember Sue's lovely smile and light heart. - Posted by: bob grafton (fellow SGI practitioner) on: May 16, 2020

Sue was an active and valued member of our SGI Buddhist community for decades. I spoke to her only a matter of days before her passing and her voice and demeanour were as youthful as ever, even at 91. She always spoke of her children with great pride. Sue would be seen frequently by friends at Polo Park Centre, walking in her neighborhood or on the bus. She was always active and energetic. I will continue to remember Sue in my daily prayers knowing we are eternally connected. - Posted by: Maxine Stewart (Fellow practitioner) on: May 16, 2020
