My sincere condolences to the family on the loss of Susie McDonough. I remember Susie as the secretary at Waterdown District High School. I had started teaching at WDHS in 1985 and Susie was always very cheerful and had a smile on her face when I would go to the office in the morning. Susie was a very pleasant lady.
May she rest in peace.
