Craig, Chris, Words cannot express the loss that everyone who knew and loved Sue must feel right now. I have known Sue for my entire career as a designer. She graciously took this young novice under her wing and expertly guided me in the art of window treatment making. I am certain that I drove her crazy, but she never let it show! It will not be the same to not be able to pick up the phone and call her several times a day. I will miss her laughter. You are all family to me and my heart goes out to each of you. Much love.
Sue was a delightful southern lady with a multitude of talents! She loved what she did…especially the fun, creative jobs she got from some of the designers she worked with. But what she really loved most of all was her family. I loved to hear Craig talk about the wonderful cakes she made him and how he would look forward to going home, having dinner with Sue and then enjoying that piece of cake she saved for him! She would giggle when I told her about his description of that wonderful cake or dinner! I will miss her beyond measure. Prayers for the family…especially, her beloved Craig.
craig! I am in total shock. Doug and I are truly sorry to hear of Sues passing. We often talked about how much we have missed ya’ll over the last few years I wish there was something we could do to ease your hearts pain. But there is the true comforter that will never leave nor forsake you even in your darkest hour. We love you Craig.
I was so blessed to have this lady in my life! We spoke weekly if not daily and the conversations were highlights in my days whether we were talking about our lives, our family’s, recipes, gardens, or our work for clients, She produced our visions beautifully and she will be missed by all whose lives she touched! I can only imagine the many homes that will always have a little piece of her talent to cherish! She took great pride and love in all! Love you Miss Carroll, peaceful journey!
Craig, Chris, Zach and Jacob, I don’t have the words to express how sorry I am for your loss. I have worked with Sue for over 20 years, and I truly feel like Sue and you are part of the family. Sue and I spoke nearly every day, sometimes 3 or 4 times a day…….working and laughing (a lot of laughing)! She was the best, but you know that. She will be missed every day. My thoughts are with you, and we are here for you.
Craig,Chris, the passing of Sue is such a shock! Although we mourn here on this earth,we have to love the fact of the celebration taking place with our Lord and all our family that awaits our arrival. Sue was a perfectionist at everything she did.
