She also liked gathering around the table with family and friends to listen to stories and jokes. "The mother memories that are closest to my heart are the small gentle ones that I have carried over from the days of my childhood. They are not profound, but they have stayed with me through life, and when I am very old, they will still be near. Margaret Sanger, American nurse and activist" To send flowers or a memorial gift to the family of Ms. Sue Etta Shields Underwood please visit our Sympathy Store.
