Ed & Family,
Eve and I were talking about you and Sue just yesterday. As she read Tuesday's Sun-Times, she called my attention to Sue's obituary. We are saddened by her death and reacll the times we spent together during those turbulent 1960s. You and she were giants during those times in creating a better world. We're sure you'll miss her as will we, but we'll always remember her welcoming smile and open arms.
