I have fond memories of visiting Aunt Susie & Uncle Al when they lived in Sayre. My parents, John (Jack)& Esther, occasionally brought us kids to visit "Mike" & "Big Sis".  I remember their dog who loved ice cream.  If I remember correctly, the dogs name was "Spike".  After my father's passing, we lost all contact with his family.  I heard of Susan's passing yesterday and send my deepest condolences to her family.

Ms. Sue was my mother's (Irene Ridgdill) suite mate at Kiva for two years.  They shared their bathroom and many hours of companionship.  Ms. Sue was  a dear lady and we both thought highly of her.  She will be missed greatly.

Ms. Sue was one of the sweetest ladies I ever knew.  She always had a smile.  I feel honored to have known her.
