On behalf of Margaret's Choir I wish to offer condolences to Sue's family at her passing. The choir is very grateful for her contribution to our singing and administrative success over more than 10 years. She sang with a lovely soprano voice. She participated with commitment humor and extremely high intelligence in the administrative group that guided the choir, and only left when poor health prevented her participating any further. We all miss her very greatly. Thank you Sue, and rest in comfort. We know you will be listening for us. - Posted by: Leonard Greenwood (Co-member of Margaret's Choir) on: Jan 10, 2026

Ally, I only met your mom once but she left an indelible mark on me because I could tell immediately how warm and wonderful she was and I could see the close relationship you had with her. I'm so sorry for the pain right now but I know her love and memories will sustain you. - Posted by: Karla King (Ally's friend) on: Jan 10, 2026
