The time I got to spend with Marysue I will never forget,even though it was a short time. She was an amazing Lady. The stories she shared with me,the talks we had and the time I had with her will remain with me forever. I am so happy to have been able to care for her. She will hold a special little place in my heart forever.

Mary Sue was my first cousin. I shall always remember her gentleness and kindness to me when I was a little girl. In later years we didn't visit as much as we should, but any time I had a chance to talk with her, she continued to exhibit that gentle and kind spirit that was the hallmark of her personality. My prayers are with her family. "Ellen Jane" Vaughan Kwick

Mary Sue will always hold a special place in my heart. She was warm and kind and never had a negative comment about anyone. Her presence will be missed and I send my love and condolences to her entire, wonderful family.
