  1. Ah, Susan! From her fiery red hair that couldn’t be forgotten to her soul just as bright and warm. Since our days reuniting on the streets of MN to bonding over porchside coffee and heart-to-hearts, she consistently showed her unwavering kindness. Despite the lost connection at times, I can only hope that now she has found eternal peace. Wishing love for her family during these moments and forever cherishing the spirited presence of Sue.

  2. Wow! 28 years of laughter & tears, growing our children & learning to trust Jesus more each day with life’s terrors & joys. I’m going to miss your supreme desire to bless everyone in your life, by your thoughtful notes, thoughtful expressions of love and appreciation, and the thousands of cards you sent! You will be deeply missed! Rest in Peace in the arms of Jesus dear friend! Arms full of flowers for you, Susan!! I see you dancing for joy!! 🥰🙏
    Lovingly, Marylin & Mark & family

  3. Maureen and Family,
    My heart is saddened by the loss of Susan. Though her body is gone, her spirit will be with us always. We enjoyed many lunches at Culver’s and Panera’s after shopping or going to appointments. She was always so generous and wanted to help out at church. I will miss her bright smile and boisterous laugh.
    Blessings to your family.
    Love, Marilee Leonard (her sister in Christ at Forest Hills church)
