Butch, I couldn't believe it when I heard about Sue. What a sweet lady! The only thing I could think of is that GOD needed his angel back in Heaven. I don't think I ever saw her without a smile. I'm just glad you found her so we were able to meet and enjoy her as well. She really was special! I can't imagine what you and Andy are going through right now! Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Debbie (Kelpinski) Ganzen and family

Dear Butch and Andy, we were so very sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Sue's smile was infectous, and her gentle and caring manner made her a blessing to know. I was always so happy to see her, she would make my day brighter. It goes without saying that Sue will be missed, especially by the two of you who, by the way, are also day brighteners!! Love and God's gracious and tender blessings to you both....from your neighbors with the 'tiny-yellow-spring-flowers' in their front lawn.

How very sad to hear this. Sue was always one of the nicest people I remember from high school. She was always ready with a smile and an enjoyable conversation no matter how long it had been since you had seen her last. I saw her a few years ago when my job brought me to her department in the courthouse. It was her soft spoken voice calling my name that got my attention, and we shared a wonderful conversation getting caught up on the happenings of 40 yrs out of high school. I am grateful to have this memory. Please know that my heart goes out to you for your loss. She was truly a lovely human being,
