Tim and Family,
Sam and I are so sad to hear of Sue's passing! While there have been many, my favorite memory of her was attending your brother's wedding with my very pregnant daughter, and Sue coming up, putting her hand on my daughter's belly and saying..."Whatcha Cooking in there, a moose?!?" and then her wonderful belly laugh! Please know the Ouellette's and Farley's at 5 High have you and the girls in our thoughts and prayers! Love to all!

My memory of Sue is the sound of her laugh. I remember hearing it years ago - at a sleepover birthday party when all us girls were in the basement and the boys were in tents "asleep" outside, and we got ourselves into some shenanigans, of course, and I remember she just laughed -- and I don't remember what trouble it was we got into but the laugh is as though I heard it just moments ago. It's a laugh that has stayed with me for 15 years. I can still hear it now. My thoughts are with you.

Sue had a personality that you couldn't help but love her. If more people in this world were like her this place would be a much better place. The love that she had for her husband and family was truly amazing. Work is just not going to be the same without her wit and bubbly personality. Her work “family” is truly going to miss her and things will never be the same. She will be greatly missed by many. My thoughts are with all her family, friends, and co-workers.

It is never easy when a loved one suddenly leaves us and we are never prepared for such a time as this, but please know that Susan has gone to a better place and that you will see her again. My most heartfelt prayers and condolences go out to the entire Oldenburg and Towle families at this time. May God welcome her into eternity and may her soul forever rest in peace.
August 23, 2012
Another Oldenburg called home?How can this be? I can see how many people she has touched and who will miss her profoundly. But none more than her family. I got to see the amazing bond she has with her husband and the sweet love she has for her children. Thankfully that will never die. May her love and memories pull you onward till we all meet her again.
May God keep you and strengthen you daily.
With fond memories,
Laurie Normand,Sanford ME.

To all the Oldenburg family,
I worked right near Susan and she always would pick up my spirits even on days when it seemed impossible. She loved to read the daily quotes I would put up and teased me endlessly when I stopped. So this is for you Sue, " May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, May God hold you in the palm of His hand, Until we meet again" See you in Heaven--Angel Sue!!!
