Monticello, AR Sunday, January 4, 2015 I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Mrs. Sue for many years, as I had the opportunity of taking care of her mom, Mr. Floyd. Mrs. Sue was a very loving woman of God. I thank you all for sharing her with us. Mrs. Sue welcomed Jewel and I into her home and treated us like her very own. We loved Mrs. Sue and the whole family. I will greatly miss her smile and her embrace. Again, May God bless each of you. Andrea Thomas. Mrs. Sue called me NipJenny Stewart
