My deepest heartbroken sympathy for my Loved Angel and her wonderful kids
Ashley, Travis, Amanda, Natalie, Spencer. Thank you so much for
sharing your lives with me when I was dating your mom. You all made
me feel like I was a member of your family. She was such a beautiful
person and was so much fun to know as she retained her youthful
energy that I knew from her so long ago in High School. I will keep
my memories of her alive in my heart and I will visit her at
Holy Sepulchre from time to time.

Dear Ashley, Travis, Amanda, Natalie and Spencer.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I knew your mother when I worked with your father years ago at Limited Too. Your mother's wit, grace, and energy were memorable. And I will never forget your father's immense pride in your mom's beauty as a woman and devotion as a mother.

We are praying for all of you during this difficult time. We spent countless hours at dance competitions with Sue, sharing our concerns, venting our frustration, and cheering on our daughters. We watched Ashley and Libby grow up in the dance studio, and then got to know the younger ones as they started to dance, too. Sue was fiercely proud of her kids, and worked so hard to raise a large family on her own. Know how much she loved you and gave you her best. We pray for God to touch your hearts and provide His peace.
