I have sat here and written so many words on how much you will be missed and none seem adequate. There are no words to sum up what a beautiful person you were. You were my friend. If I hurt this much I can only imagine how your family must feel. Love from Rozanne

I have many fond memories of Sue "back in the day" when we worked at the old Dairy Queen in Raymond for Lucy Janhunen. Sue was always funny and pretty much kept me in stitches laughing when we worked together. One day while we were working, I saw something out of the corner of my eye running across the floor. It was a large black beetle looking thing (which turned out later to be a huge potato beetle) and I yelled at Sue to come see it. Sue took one look at that monster beetle, grabbed a "soppy" mop and went for it. She got the beetle and we both ended up cleaning the windows and walls because of the "soppy" mop. It was so funny. I never laughed so hard! We found out later the beetle came from Idaho in a potato sack. A couple of years ago I saw Sue again at the Chamber building in South Bend. She was still pretty, had the same personality and we had a nice chat. I will always remember Sue. She was a special lady.

Sue and I first met 38 years ago. We both ended up working at Ali Baba's in Aberdeen and became fast friends and confidantes. She was an amazing and beloved friend of mine that I have had the fortune of having in my life for these past 38 years. I remember the shenanigans we used to pull to get out of work and the many times we were so broke we shared french fries and cokes for breakfast and after work we would go to Denny's around the corner from our apartments and order fries w/gravy and tartar sauce. We were a mess! I used to watch her son, Michael, when he was a little thing and we always got in trouble for messing up her apartment and playing football in the hallway..lol. Well..I got in trouble. She came to visit a few times after I moved to Florida and everytime I flew back up to Washington she was the first one I would call. She loved her children unconditionally and her other "baby" Shayla, the lynx. Her friendship has always been one of the grounding things in my life. As long as Sue was alive in this world, all was right. My heart is absolutely broken from her loss, but I treasure the love she and I shared for each other. I was a very lucky person to have her friendship. Dawn Anna, Sue and I talked about how we were going to be the "Golden Girls" of Washington when we all retired, with our 3 rockers, cigarettes and wine. Well, we may not have that time here, but I know we will see her afterwards. God Bless you, Sue, I love you and I miss you. The world may be a bit dimmer without you here but I know God is happier now that you are with him. See you.
