Sue always wore a smile and exuded patience while working at Tim & Joes. My boys knew all the "girls" and Sue was their favorite. Please accept my deepest sympathy, may she rest in peace.

My condolences to the family. Susan was a dear friend. We shared many things in common including our love for our family. I. Have enjoyed meeting the Cullen family over the years. I know how important you were to her. She was also a part of the Tim and Joe's family. We lovingly called her Suzie because she was the youngest of the bunch. Her smile lit up the room. Her laugh would crack me up. Good bye my old confidant, my buddy, my friend. Thanks for the memories.
