I am saddened to know that Sue Creswell Walling has died. I visited her in Mesa several times in recent years. . I planned to stop by Mesa in May and introduce her to Dorothy, whom I married four and a half years after my wife of fifty-one years passed away. I messaged Sue several weeks ago and it was a surprise that she did not reply. Now it seems that I know why. Sue was vivacious and outgoing in high school and in her last years.
Susie and I have been in touch (in person, online, telephone calls_since we both moved to AZ around 2000. She called me from her visit to hospital in late December 2024, as I had left many messages on her VM and it was unlike her to not respond. She told me in December that she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. But she was so strong and never felt sorry for her many cancers over the years. Then in January she called from the hospital and said don't worry everthing is all riight. She was very brave. I said many prayers for her recovery. In February I called her phone and her daughter, Sarah answered and told me she was on hospice. That was the last I heard. So sad, but glad that her one daughter and 3 sons were with her till the end. Rest In Peace, Susie.

I'm really sad that she has gone, as she and I always acknowledged that she was my first girlfriend. It
all started in 2nd half of 3rd grade when I moved to So. Pas. in 1947. I would walk her home after school
at Oneonta, We stayed in touch frequently through the years at reunions, on the phone and emailing.
I also visited her in 2012 in Arizona and stayed overnight on my trip to and from Florida to work for 4 months.
She was certainly one of the nicest persons I have ever met. Rest in Peace my love. Jack Hartman
