    This lady was truly an angel. She lived down the road from my grandparents when I was growing up .For years she would walk down to their house every day to check on them see if they needed to go anywhere or simply just sit and visit with them . Sometimes she would have a little tag along (me) following her around asking her a thousand questions. Never once did she get aggravated or seemed to be annoyed. For years she did this without asking for anything in return. At the time i was too young to understand how much of a blessing she was to my family . So I never got to tell her thank u. So now I thank u Sue Grimes for everything. U were truly a blessing to my family I can only imagine how much ur family will miss u. Rip Sue. And im praying for comfort for all the lives u touched.

    This makes me sad. Sue and I started first grade together through 10th grade when I moved to Jonesboro. She was a neighbor as well as a friend.
