"Sorry to hear about Sue. She was so loved by the Trumann people and anyone that knew her. I carry a lot of good memories of her and Nunnally Cafe that started off about 2 doors down from City Beauty Shop where my mother worked. I had many meals from Nunnally's. It matters in life what you do for others and she did just that. She will be missed.

"Geroge and family... Just last week I received this message...it touched my heart so that I wanted to share it with you. It is painful to adjust to life without the physical presence of a loved one, especially one's mother. My heart and prayers are with you as you adjust and heal. May you find comfort in remembering the many wonderful experiences you shared with your mother. Her love and influence will always be with you. "The truest end of life is to know life never ends."
