My sincere condolences to you and your families on the passing of your dear sister, Susan. My good friend Dave, spoke often of his trips to Atlanta which included reports of his adventures with Susan, David and the grand children. He was so proud of his family and was so concerned about Susan’s illness. What a regret that she was taken so young. I know the love of your families and the support of you friends will see you through this difficult time.
Respectfully,
Our deepest and sincere sympathies to you and your family Laurie.
I am so sorry to hear of your sister’s passing. You are in my heart and prayers. May God be with you now and always.

I haven’t had contact with Sue for 47 years but she made a big difference in my life! During my sophomore year at Lorain High School Sue taught me how to twirl a baton and I made the majorette line. Those next 2 years were fun and helped my self-esteem which I feel changed my life. I am very sorry for your loss and for Sue’s suffering. God bless you all.
Our deepest sympathy to Susan’s family, words cannot express our feelings for what you have gone through. I am glad your parents did not have to deal with this loss. Just thinking of many good memories. We will be praying for all of you.
So sorry to hear of Susan’s passing. We will pray for healing and the joy of remembrance in this time of sorrow.
Dear Dave, Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Sue was the best. Our love to all the family. Reid and Deloris Mullins
I am so very, very sad to find this on the internet! Sweet Sue was in my AGD pledge class at BG, and always such an asset to our group!
Peace and blessings to you all.
We are so sorry to hear of Sue’s passing. We just had a mini reunion in Ohio of BGSU 1966-1970 classmates last week and Susan’s name came up. We lived net door to Sue when we were freshmen. We searched the internet and sadly found the news of her passing. We wanted her family to know that our memories of Sue are those of a caring, funny lady who found it very easy to reach out and make a difference.
Sue, Kathy and Susan from BGSU
