Not sure what to say?

Sue, as described, was a very special and long time friend. Susan and I (Jim and Susan Eaton) have know Sue and Bob for almost 40 years. We worked closely with them in conjunction with many of their volunteer outreach efforts including Families Moving Foward, and other efforts that involved humanitarian aid and disaster relief. She and Bob set the bar high in demonstrating their compassion and help for a number of marginalized communities. We will remember and miss her very much.

I wish Sue's family the smiles and warmth she gave so many of us. Sue was my mentor in 1975 when I started working with Edina High School's ESL program. I couldn't have had a more knowledgeable teacher. She helped me set up the curriculum, buy the texts, and make the families feel welcome in their new homes. I will forever be grateful. Bob, Scott, and Mary, I send my condolences for your loss. Sue is irreplaceable, but I wish you peace in the days ahead. Warmly, Sue Cole

To Bob, Mary, Scott and your families. Sue and I first met in 1959 at Macalester College, became roommates and forever friends. We shared our lives, and have great memories of summers in Sauk Center, great conversations. We were in each other´s weddings and kept in touch all these many years. Love to you Bob, I´ll miss her too.

Sue was an outstanding individual and a wonderful example. She will be so missed.

One of the finest people I have ever met. I am undoubtedly a better person for having known Sue and Bob. A wonderful duo. She was a magnificently humble package and her kind, generous and gentle spirit will always be remembered. So will her wonderful laugh. I can hear it in my mind now. Shulzes - you are all amazing people. Love you all.
