PLAINFIELD, Ill. (WLS) -- Loved ones gathered Saturday to remember a popular high school teacher who was killed earlier this week.

Family, friends and students gathered in Naperville Saturday morning for the wake for Sue Cunningham. The Plainfield North High School teacher was just diagnosed with cancer a few months ago.
