This is a post for not only Sue, but the whole family. I grew up knowing the entire Parr family and becoming Connies bff. The entire family is a wonderful family and Sue, Dales twin has been asctive throughout life as the rest and i am sure her children and grandchildren will have a large hole where she has been.i feel for them and hope they remember always that Sue was a wise and wonderful person. Dale as her twin im sure this is extra hard on you. Connie just went through it with her twin.
Although i havent seen most of you for many years, i will always remember the PARR FAMILY KIDS.
