Dear Sue, You spent a lot of time downplaying all those brilliant gifts that you had. That wonderful voice that was only fully heard on rare occasions. Your wonderful logistical mind that could see a way through a problem easily, whilst the rest of us were still puzzling. You even downplayed your illness, with a 'get on with it' shrug. You had a sarcastic but hilarious sense of humour that would make me laugh outloud and a way of making assembly songs exciting but still well sung. I loved watching you when we did Secret Santa at Christmas, you'd created lots of little presents, each one with a poem or joke, carefully matched to the person receiving it. You were always great with the little details. At performance times, when we were stumbling over songs, you would step in to help and before I knew it you had put words to a favoured tune and the children were revved up and Viv, Karen and I moved to tears. Rest now because you did a brilliant job and you will never be forgotten, those corridors at Manford will not be the same. Much Love, Nicola xxx
