Mrs. Little (as I will always know her) was one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. She truly cared for her students and was a second mother to all. Her early support led the way for my lifelong passion of reading and future successes. My heart goes out to her family. May she rest in peace.

Thamk You Sue for being YOU!! You are such a supporter of everything and everyone!!!So lucky and blessed have my family been because of you. We shared 6 great years together , you got a lot of great friends. We love you. Everyone is going to miss you so much Ms Sue.
I feel honored to have become acquainted, and friends with Sue because of her relationships with two people dear to me: Evelyn Boss and my grandson, her great-grandson, Adrian Jacob Little-Genova.
Please accept my deepest sympathies, there are no words powerful enough to express sorrow for your loss. At 89, Mrs. Adams lived a long and full life as the Psalmist said “with special mightiness”. May your memories bring you joy while you are sustained by the God of comfort in this time of distress.
