Tributes
Sending sincere sympathy to all Sue’s family and those special people in her life who will miss her most.
I was so sorry not to be able to attend her funeral today but I’ve just watched it online. It was a very fitting tribute to a beautiful woman who touched the lives of so many.
One more story to add to the many:
When we were living in the middle of China, Alan happened to call his mother, who lived alone, only to hear she was feeling very ill. Alan called Sue and she was at Granny’s side within minutes and ensured that Granny received the medical care that she desperately needed.
I don’t know how Sue did it but she seemed to be always available just when she was needed.
I know that Sue is now at home with her Saviour, fully healed and restored.April 17, 2026 11:21 pm
