Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I knew Sue from many years ago when I became director of social services for Pasquotank County. Sue was one of the first persons to come to work for the agency as I filled vacant positions. Sue went to Albemarle Hospital to take applications for people in need of help paying their hospital bill working there on some days and in the social services office on other days. Sue was one of the kindest persons and she had a very caring personality. I was so very lucky to have met her. We missed her when she left social services to go to work for the attorney office but she was more satisfied there and I was so happy to see her working there when I purchased a home about 2 years ago. Sue was a dedicated and loyal person. It was my priviledge to know her. Of course you already know what a wonderful person that Sue was as did many other people whose life she touched in different ways. Sue was a beautiful person in so many ways. God bless all of you in this time of loss and hold you close remembering the love shared and the life of your loved one, Sue.
James, Cliff and I are so sorry to hear of Sue’s passing. She was such a sweet person. Always made Cliff and I welcome at the church. God bless you and your family and keep you during this time.

James Arthur,
So sorry to hear of Sue’s passing. I know it is a sad time for you right now. The Lord works in mysterious ways and I know he has a wonderful new angel now. We have not seen you guys much since high school, but we remember that day at the nursing home when we were visiting Fran’s aunt and you were visiting your Mom. Well that aunt just passed away 3 days before Sue. Just know our prayers are with you and your family and may peace and comfort be instilled in your hearts at this.
Mr. Markham, April and Family: We are so sad to hear the news of Sue’s passing. We understand she fought for some time and now rests peacefully in the hands of the Lord. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Mr. Markham and Family: It sadden my heart when I heard of the passing of Sue. She was very nice, pleasant and kindhearted. We were in the same class at College of The Albemarle several years ago. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with you at this difficult time.
I was out of the country when I heard of Sue’s passing. She will always be remembered for her sweet smile and gentle nature. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family.
