Dear Mr. Fisk, Kenny & Cheryl

I hope you are not too sad. I miss Ms. Sue really bad. She was really nice to me. She gave me candy every time she cut my hair. She always let me find her turtles. I love her very much.

Sue was a beautiful person.. inside & out. -- full of laughter and full of God's spirit. God continued to work through her life during her struggles as an inspiration for many. I feel so blessed to have had some fun memories with Sue .... and know she is now dancing with the angels & pain free.

She will be missed but never forgotten... Bunco won't be the same without Sue but know she will be with us in spirit & watching as we join together in fellowship.

Love from the Schaefer family
