Dear Sue,
I think of you so often. Especially when I´m in the yard with my plants. I will always cherish the time we had together but sure wish it was longer.

My heart goes out to Sue’s family! It has been about a decade since I saw Sue. I was a young teenage lifeguard for 3 summers. Sue was always enjoyable to talk to, would give me plenty of trouble and most definitely kept me in my place! I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers…

Dear James and Family,

It is difficult to find the words to express our sympathy in the loss of your mom.

Remember your mom will always be with you. She will be by your side for every special occasion in your life and she will have her hand on your shoulder guiding you through the rough times. Please know that she is there.

A Mom is God's ultimate Superhero and by raising three sons your mom proudly wears three stars on her heart for eternity.

Much sympathy, The Castner Family

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My heart breaks for the entire Noser/Bellchamber family. Growing up, Sue was the big sister I never had.
Memories will keep her alive.

My very deepest sympathy to all that knew Susan. I have worked briefly with Don, and could see through the look on his face, the love and friendship he feels for his wife. The words I have read make me wish that I could have been blessed with knowing Susan.
May you all find comfort in the memories of your time together.

My condolences to you and your family through this difficult time. It's the great memories you all have shared together that will keep her close too everyones heart.

Sue had many amazing gifts. She was known for her absolute love of children, animals-even plants, crafts and antiques. She would be the first to volunteer for any project, and the last to leave after helping others clean up and put things away. If you wanted to see Sue's spark, all you had to do was talk about the adventures of your children or share experiences about your vacation to places like Ireland. She will always be remembered and loved in the hearts and souls of all of us who knew her. She was one of a kind. We will miss her greatly, but we will love her eternally. God Bless us all.

Though our friendship was a short one; Sue came to help a crew of people cook for an ESL dinner/program every Wednesday at my church. We had fun talking, laughing and sharing our lives with each other. Our prayers are with her family and friends.

Baby Sitter Sue: that was what we called you. You were my first Grandsons care taker, and you were wonderful. I saw you about two years ago and you were so very kind to me. I am sure they are celebrating in Heaven to have you, bu I also know how much you will be missed. Bless you and all of your family.

Oh Sue what great memories I have of you! You were the only person I trusted to take care of my first baby and what an amazing job you did! You will always be babysitter Sue to us. I loved our times digging and planting and playing with the kids. You taught me so much about so many things! You will be greatly missed here on earth but I know heaven is celebrating to have you! I will see you again my friend.

I can't begin to explain how sad I was to hear that Sue passed away. She was my boss at the Remington Oaks Clubhouse which was my my 1st job! I really learned a lot from her. She was a wonderful woman and in the 4 years I was there I was able to get to know her and hear her talk about her family. Her husband and boys were her entire world and she loved them so much! My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this very difficult time. I will never forget Sue and hope she is now at peace.

March 13, 2011

Sue, a special lady, friend, mother and wife. She left this world way too early, but she laughed, traveled and enjoyed her life better than most.
She will be missed by many.

I lost my best friend and it hurts deeply, but I'm comforted knowing I will see Sue again in heaven. I have no doubt that she will hold my hand, assure me that it's "going to be fine", and help lead me home.

My friend, the sister I never had, someone who always was there for me. Love you and will see you again, Sue, in Heaven!!

I couldn't have asked for a better wife. She had the strength to put up with me for over 27 years. I'll love and miss her for the rest of my life.
