Dear Amanda, Brenda, Amy, and Paula,
Although we didn't see your mom, Sue, often enough due to busy lifestyles of all of us, we have been praying for her for years. Cancer can take so much from us, but it cannot take the love. Your mom always treated others with love and respect, and we will always remember her loving smile and warm hugs. She will be missed, but not forgotten. We are excited for her to finally be in the arms of our Father and know that she no longer endures the pains of our world. You are all in our thoughts and prayers as you learn to live with this temporary loss. You will be together again someday. Celebrate the memories of your wonderful mother. Remember the times when she was the only one who could comfort you, and know that she is still with you and hears your thoughts. God bless you all!
Love, Dean, Kandi, Britt and Blake Robinson

Susan was a very special lady who had charm and presence that drew people into her life and we are all blessed to have met her. Susan loved life and enjoyed everything to the fullest. She loved good food, good wine and all Gods children. She was a good listener with an abundance of compassion. We will miss her dearly. All that we love deeply becomes part of us, what we have once enjoyed we can never loose for she will be in our hearts forever.

To the Family of Sue - we were so deeply sorry about the loss of your Mom. We have known her for many many years through the bowling events we all went to in Rochester. I know your mom has battled her cancer for a very long time. It was at a happy time the last time I saw her, as everyting looked good then. I was so shocked to hear it came back. She has been in my prayers. She was a very very nice person. I enjoyed talking with her when we got together. I am so sorry for you kids. All I can say is your Mom is now in no more pain and for that we are grateful. Hang on to the wonderful memories you have of her. You are all in our thoghts and prayers right now. God Bless.
