I remember many years ago asking Sue to be my sponsor on my confirmation day. I took her name Ann for my confirming name she was in recovery from a very serious car accident but still walked with her scared face and could hardly walk but still she stood by my side. That was many years ago but I've never forgotten her tender touch and much love. I had know idea she was ill I am so sorry for the family and friends she truly was a wonderful women of God.

To my family, We have been blessed to have Sue touch our lives. I praise God and thank him for such a warmhearted and beautiful person. She will be missed more then I have words to say. My heart aches at the thought of not visiting with you regularly and listening to you and Mom giggle like high school girlfriends. Thank you Sue for your love, laughter and cheering on when life really sucks!! xoxoxxo

Forever in our hearts you will remain Sue. Your time here will not be forgotten as you have left behind three wonderful sons to carry forth the love you gave to all. I'm sure the cribbage match has begun. We love you and will miss you!
