May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Most of my high school teachers from Bear Creek have blurred into a distant memory, but Sue Berger remains in sharp focus. She held the bar high, was an outstanding teacher and encouraged me to pursue a career in science when that was not the "thing that girls did" in the mid-70's. She did influence my career path into health care. I regret that I did not stay in touch. RIP Sue, you left a legacy.

Ms. Berger was the best teacher I ever had. She made science fun and was a huge reason I pursued my degree in Chemistry. I loved being her "Student Assistant" my senior year at Bear Creek. She was always joking and pleasant to be around. She was the smartest person I knew when it comes to all things Chemistry. I wish I had been able to see more of her over the years. When I think back to my days at BCHS I always think about Ms. Berger and how great she was to me. Thank you fior being such a...

I will never forget Ms. Berger, and I will always be grateful that I got to have her as a teacher. She was the first teacher I had who was as excited about science as I was.

I wish I had kept in closer touch, but I am grateful that she inspired me to keep looking at the world and trying to figure out why things happen. The world was better place with "Aunt Sue!"

Sue was always part of our lives in Evergreen Highlands. She brightened up our lives, gave us good advice, gave us support and then later our daughters would
turn to her for advice and support. Finally, our grandson arrived on her doorstep---she took him in and got him
going in the right direction.

Dear Sue, we will miss you.

Losing a loved one is never easy, but our loving God promises to give the strength and courage you'll need to endure, and to cope with the pain of your loss. He also promises to hold your hand every step of the way. Isaiah 40:29, 41:10,13

She was a wonderful lady and one of the founders of our bowling league. Monday bowling won't be the same. She will be greatly missed. RIP Sue.
