Dear Allan, Jennene and Kim, we will always be thankful for the enormous help and comfort Sue gave to our family during Don's rehab. When she entered the room of the hospital and gave a hearty hello in that salty NY accent, my Dad lit up and did what he was told. She has left this earth too soon for us but will live in our hearts forever. Peace be with you.

My thoughts and prayers have been with your family over these past few days. Sue gave her whole heart and energy to help others. When my mom, Betty, was ill, Sue provided comfort, counsel, support and love. Please know that you are in our prayers and that Sue will live forever in our hearts.

I was so sad to hear of Sue's passing. She was my idea of a great nurse and person, way back when I was a novice and she was the pro. I learned so much from her and although I hadn't see her in years, I grieve knowing that she's no longer here. My sincerest condolences to Allan and all of Sue's family. Cathy Christie

I worked with Sue last year in the Bishop Anderson House course on Volunteer Lay Chaplaincy. Sue made the program work at Peace Lutheran. I am blessed to have known her and to have worked with her. May the family find peace and strength during this time. - Rev. David O. Kyllo
