“ ...I found myself thinking about all the times Sue showed up. Not just for me but for so many.
One phone call… and she’s there.
Not just words. Action. Not just even action but full commitment.
I’ve watched her work with schools, teachers, administrators, and students. Never above it, always in it. I’ve seen her walk into hard situations with families in crisis and bring calm, clarity, and help. Real help, real concern and total concentration on making it right for all the kids. Sue shows up...”
