Sue was a very talented writer. She was passionate about it, worked hard at it and never gave up. When she learned she had MS, that same determination and spirit was turned to managing her disease. She did amazing amounts of research, kept her doctors on their toes, changed her diet, and began exercising. For a woman who wrote often about daydreams, she faced reality with tremendous courage. And through it all, she kept writing. In our last phone conversation, Sue talked about the upcoming production of one of her plays in California, about things she'd been doing, things she'd been writing and people she'd seen. She never once complained about her MS, although I knew it was getting worse and would probably keep her from getting out to the West Coast to see the production of her play. I'm sad that she's gone but happy for her that she was able to go gently and on her own terms.
