To the family of Sue,
We at the Eden Garden Study Club are so sorry to hear of Sue's passing.
She was a very special and caring part of our club. Her flower gardens were a wonder to behold and her vegetables, the very best. We have missed her these past years, but have remembered her quiet gentle ways and readyness to always lend a hand. We miss her so.
May God be with you all at this very sad time. You all are in our thoughts.
Sincerely,
John Hofmann

Sue was special neighbor of ours in Eden NY. She was the nicest and friendliest person to talk to during my walks. I will always remember her for her beautiful gardens. If she wasn't walking, she was tending to her gardens. God bless her and welcome her into his loving arms. My thoughts are with her family during this difficult time.

Sue lived across the street from us on Shadagee Rd. Sue was a wonderful friend who we "adopted" and had her at all our family events. I was so sad to hear of her death. She will always have a special place in my heart.

To Sue's family,
I'm a friend of Sue's from Silver Creek Central. I worked with Sue for 11 years. We also bowled together in Silver Creek and then in Angola at Chic's Lanes. I didn't have a bowling ball, so I always used Sue's. The ball was exactly like my mom's bowling ball. It was kind of neat. I always looked to Sue as a mother figure. She once went to Myrtle Beach with my 2 friends and me. We had a great time. Sue was 25 years older, but fit right in! We then stopped at her parent's house in Virginia on the way home and stayed for the night. It was so nice to meet her parents. I moved to Florida 5 years ago, but would visit Sue when I came back to Buffalo to see my family. I saw Sue after her surgery when she was still living in Brant/Angola. I'm so glad that I got to see her a few times before she moved to Virginia. Sue was a very strong, independent person. I was always amazed by her strength and energy.
I miss her very much and I'm so sorry about your loss. Please give her dog a hug for me, I know how much Sue loved her dogs!
With great sympathy,
Lisa Hazlett Smith

Lord,
Susan is gone now from this earthly dwelling,
and has left behind those who mourn her absence.
Grant that we may hold her memory dear,
never bitter for what we have lost
nor in regret for the past,
but always in hope of the eternal kingdom
where you will bring us together again.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
