    It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sue Tennant, founder and president of FreeSchools World Literacy. Sue and her husband Derek were in Panama visiting friends when Sue died peacefully in her sleep on March 4, 2018. Our deepest condolences go out to Derek to whom she was married for almost 50 years, and also to Sue's family and friends, of which there were many. A celebration of her life is planned in Barrie, Ontario, May 12, 2018. Please contact Derek for details.

    Sue was one of my dearest friends, the one who originally inspired me to become in involved with FreeSchools. In 2006 we traveled to India together where we met Sr. Crescence and visited the schools for the first time. During that one-month trip, which also included the FreeSchools in Thailand, we bonded [read my account A Life-Changing Experience]. Our friendship continued through the years, based on our shared spiritual philosophy and devotion to the work being done in Bihar by Sr. Crescence. Words cannot express how much she is missed as we continue with the legacy she started. Please consider making a donation to FreeSchools in memory of Sue's life--a life truly lived for others.

    I will remember Sue as person who was always friendly and willing to serve others with tireless love. She was always kind to me and others, so willing to do what she could to help others. I miss her and look forward to seeing her again when I join her on the mansion worlds.
