Very saddened by the loss of such a vibrant person in Sue at far too young an age. Comforting to know she had those closest to her as her brave journey ended as what I knew of her, family was her everything. While she'll be terribly missed I'm sure there will be many beautiful memories shared and a joyful loving life to celebrate. Our warmest sympathies and thoughts are with Doug, Natalie, Steve, Erin, Harry, Flynn and Zoe and to all who knew and cherished Sue. All our love - Ken & Jenny.
