Sue Brown and the ?0 Birthday


Sue has now reached one of the decades of life. And I know what every one is thinking... That she can't be thirty yet! To me she is forever thirty whatever actual age she is. Mother of four, two in college, all but one drive, and the youngest is all of fourteen. She not only teaches a group of first through third graders all with special needs and each a class to themselves, she volunteers to help others regularly. This following weekend she is caring for one of a single mother's children who attend the East Pike elementary school so the mother can take her other daughter to Pittsburgh to have a tumor removed from her leg. In our bedroom sits a most loving piece of hand made furniture that was made specifically for Sue by the husband of one of Sue's close friends for simply supporting her friend with faithful encouragement and prayer while the friend struggled to overcome a dangerous bout with cancer. She teaches Sunday School, she maintains our house, she..., I could go on, but lets suffice it to say that she may be the hardest worker I know. No botox, little time to execise, and no time to rest, she looks like she's never going to pass thirty.
