Ron Bruck sends my heartfelt sympathy to all The McClain Family Members with the passing of Sue. I would occasionally see you at your home, but more so you would be found walking your dogs who were a large part of your life loving and caring for those little animals. I worked with your close friend Jim for many years, and he would often talk about your love for attending Eagle and Knoxville<IA races. Your kind heart will continue to shine down on all who know you. Sue, rest in peace. Ron

I was so lucky to have Sue as my sister- we shared many childhood memories together- loved walking my dog with hers- playing cards- going to races- and I loved going with her to share in her grandchildren’s doings. One thing we for sure had in common was loving Elvis Presley. I will forever miss that beautiful smile of hers . Love you Always Sue and till we meet again – please know I’m always thinking of you. Love your Sister Betty
