Sad News at Canoe FM

Canoe FM is very sad to share with you the fact the Susan Hill has passed away.  Susan was a smart, energetic, happy, fun loving volunteer.  Susan was part of our Bingo Team for a number of years.

You can see in the picture that she was having fun with Collin - Colling was so very tall and as we all know, Susan was on the smaller side.

We send hugs to Susan's husband Terry and the rest of her family.
