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.
Happy Trails Aunt Susie! We will miss your cheerful voice and smiling face but will cherish our fond memories of you. Our sincerest sympathy to Warren, Jennifer, Jim, Kathy and your boys.
Love Jerry, Dianne and family
Jim and family-Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during your time of loss.
