We grew up together. Her mother drove Sue and I to grade school at Powellton every day. I think Jessie worked at the mine medical office there. Plus Florida family vacations together.
Sue and I met our freshman year in high school. For the two years she was at Montgomery, we were on the phone
Every night. I am so glad that her moving away and my moving to Maryland didn’t stop the phone calls and when I was in WV, she was
always on the list of people to see. Rest in peace, Sue. I love you, my friend and will miss the phone calls.
