Not sure what to say?

Von,
Pam and my sympathies are with you and your family. It has been many years ago in High School that my memories of Sue bring a smile. She was always so quick witted yet never mean spirited. Her peresonality seemed to glow with positiveness.
We will keep you and your family in our prayers as your life is going through this tough time.

" I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Sue from a wonderful trip to Mexic We were 5 women who spend a week together. We laughed and cryed together as we shared our feelings, dreams and whishes for the future. Before we left Sue gave each one of us a small bottle filled with sand from the beach. She wanted us to remember our time together. The bottle stands on my nightstand , for me it is filled not only with sand but it also incompasses Sue spirit,her calmness and her very special outlook on...

We are all better people having known Sue Summers. Sue was like a sister to me growing up as I spent many hours at the Cook household. She was truly a very special person and always seemed to care more about others then herself. I was so happy when her and Von married. My thoughts are with you and the family Von. I know it has been difficult for all of you but I am sure it is very comforting to know that you have so many fanastic memories. Sue will be missed but the impact that she had on...

Von, our thoughts are with you and your family. We are so saddened to hear of your loss.

Mike and I met Sue when she & Von were associated with the Home Builder's Association & then later at the NW Nat. Company. What an amazing woman! We all admired, respected her; had fun with her. Our hearts are breaking for you, Von, and your family. May the love that the two of you have shared comfort you and give you peace.

So very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed Sue's company and the sharing of life experiences. She was so very proud of her family and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you. I can only hope the passage of time will numb the loss but her life contribution will be felt for years to come. Thank you for sharing Sue with all of us.

Sue, you will be missed by all. I missed your caring and loving smile. You were a very caring person and I really enjoyed working with you.

Von, you and Sue were so fortunate to have each other.

When I think of Sue, I remember her lovely smile. She was so gracious, friendly and accepting. Some people leave us far too soon, but their memories leave a sweet place in our hearts.
