    This is truly sad news, Sue was an expert in her research field and extremely generous in helping people with their enquiries.

    My sincere condolences to her family.

    Condolences to Sue's family and friends.
    Her site is an excellent resource and has been a great help on a few occasions with my own family research.

    That is sad news.
    Can't exactly say the subject was a prime interest of mine, but even the dilettante could tell her site was something rather special. I've certainly referred a fair few there over the years.

  14. I am so sorry to learn that Sue died many years ago now. I was about to write her to find out how to get permission to publish a document she found about my mother's service in the VAD (photo of my mother and uncle to the left). Sue and I exchanged several email message when I started the research for what will (fairly) soon be a book, and she was always extraordinarily kind and helpful. I am very grateful to her, and miss her wise counsel.
