My first impression of Sue came when i first saw her desk in the back of the TCC Library. We were slotted to become "in-laws and we decided it was time for us to meet and made the arrangement ourselves. I approached her desk early and she had not arrived yet so she did not get to see my surprise at all of the "accessories" she had on top of and around her work space. It was an incredible tribute to "Tigger." She had everything from figurines, to posters, to a Pez case, note paper, pens, wrist bands, lanyard, etc. Lots and lots of it. It was really a sizeable collection that had to have taken years to acquire. Next, in the corner, she had a life sized cardboard cutout of Bill Clinton standing behind her chair. It was really something to take in; but the clincher was that she had a five by seven framed picture of my grandson on her desk! There were humorous sayings on the wall and lots more captivating paraphernalia to absorb. I knew then to expect a real character.

Oh my, which one to share? I have so many beautiful memories of you, Sue, and every one of them precious. We had the opportunity to go to Canada for the weekend, and Sue, my mom, and I went. We went to the Vancouver Aquarium where I was able to see a killer whale in real life for the first time. We also went to the Botanical Gardens and saw so many beautiful flowers and enjoyed lovely day walking around the park. But the funniest part of the memory is when we were trying to find things using a map (no cell phones back then!) and we quickly discovered I am no good at reading maps. It seemed like every time I was in charge of directions, I would regularly have to say, "Oh, whoops, we need to go THAT way!" pointing in the opposite direction we were going! She will be missed, I am so blessed to have known her!
