Not sure what to say?

I will always miss Sue! She was a good friend to men

Sue was my 5th grade teacher at Alice Taylor. We shared the same birthday- and I was thinking of her the other day. As a foster kid, her classroom was a stabilizing force. I have fond memories of her teaching us sign language and reading to us by candle light after recess. I used to give her the tightest hugs- she was my favorite teacher. I am sorry to hear of her passing and sending her family so much warmth and strength.

Always and forever, your precious angel.

Gary, we are so sorry to learn that Sue has passed. Please accept our condolences. Our saving grace is knowing that she was secure in her salvation. You will meet again someday.

Gary, we were so sad to hear of Sue´s passing. I know she will be sorely missed. She was such a lovely, classy Christian lady. It was always so obvious how madly in love the two of you were. Tom and I will remember you in our prayers.

My sincere condolences to Sue´s family . She was sunshine on a cloudy day and her presence will be missed. Prayers for all of you. God Bless

I remember Sue very well and sorry to hear of her passing. The family will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God give comfort to each of you!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Gary and his family. Sue was a special person. She was full energy and enjoyed life to the fullest. We shared a lot of good times with her and Gary, going to bicycle race, special events with the Alumnae Group and a special weekend at Dancing Bear Lodge in Tennessee. She and Gary were inseparable. She will be missed. May God bless you and your family.

I remember when I first met Sue we laughed about her name being superior and she certainly was. She was a great friend, best shopper, and gave me all kinds of advice on makeup etc. I am so sad for Gary and I know he will miss her terribly. May she rest in peace!
