"Sue, over the years has kept me smiling just watching how much she loved her children. She was so proud of them and I don't blame her. I loved her humor, to me she hasn't changed from when we stood on the steps of the Truman auditorium every morning, at school and at lunch! Fly high and find your loved ones Sue. I'm praying for entire family because she will be missed. Praying for strength for the family to get through this terrible, lonely time.

"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.
