It’s a gift to know her.
It’s a thrill to love her.
It’s a privilege to grow with her.
It’s a trip to be with her,
and with her I’ll always be.
Here’s to another 50 spins around the sun!

Sue — I have always admired you. You were the confident, cooler-than-me big sister I was always glad to have. I know everyone thinks they are a dork, but I totally thought you were the solid, individualistic, thoughtful, stylish person that this little dork looked up to. I love your sense of adventure, and how you are always suggesting things that are a little bit out of the norm… like that one time you told Mom and Dad to get up off the couch! Let’s go bowling!! Hahaha. So out of the norm! …and your hair looks totally rad long and grey. 50 looks good on you, especially because you smile a lot. Happy birthday Sue!
— James Elston
Sue is a lot of great things without a doubt. Sue is always up for a good time… ALWAYS!

Dear Sue,
Putting this birthday page together has truly been a gift from you to me. I loved working on this.
On this, your 50th birthday, reading these words that have been sent to me and seeing your smile in each photo has made me smile, laugh and draw tears of gladness. I and so many others are glad to know you.
You see the best in people, bringing out the best in them. Your spirit carries a gravity that lifts the spirits of others.
The smartest thing I have ever done is ask if you would like to partner with me and start a business together. And the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me is when you replied: “Well, I suppose…”.
Thank you for everything you do for me and SUMO. I love my job. I am damn lucky to get to work with you and see you and Ruby (almost) every single day.
— MO
I love Sue. I love her more when she sits in the back seat.
— Heidi
I can’t believe she’s 50!
