I was very shocked to read of Sue's passing. We were co-workers at Illinois Power many years ago and have kept in touch over the years. She was always so friendly and anxious to catch up on people we had known over the years. We always seemed to see each other at various places and never had enough time to talk long enough. She will definitely be missed.

After seeing the notice of Sue's passing in the newspaper this morning, so many memories of Glosser family get-togethers in my childhood started coming back to me. I enjoyed listening to Grandma, Sue's mother Aunt Dorothy, and Aunt Dene tell stories about the family. Sue was always friendly, and I eventually learned that she was Dad's cousin who married Mom's cousin Gary. Somehow to a child, that seemed to make them a little more special than the "plain" relatives! Sue was very kind to my mom in later years. Although Mom was blind and had difficulty identifying people, she always looked forward to visiting with "Susie" when she came to Primrose to play cards. My condolences go to Gary and his family.
