You were a remarkable woman. Compassionate and caring. Always there for everyone. Always thinking about everyone else.
We will miss you. Our memories of you are forever. Those cannot be taken away from us. I know you will be watching over all of us. Kelly and I will always be thinking of you. The very first time you met Kelly and took her into the kitchen and gave her the first degree questioning, is always a found memory that makes us all laugh. Memories live forever and you have left life long memories for us all!
I am so saddened by the loss of Sue!!! She was such an amazing person!! She was by far my favorite co-teacher at Kensington!! I was so fortunate to work with her!! I just opened my desk drawer at home and my ruler has Leann/Sue written on it!!! I’m so sorry to all of you for the loss of such a wonderful mother and wife!!! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time!!!!
I am so very sorry for your loss of your Wife and Mother. I will never forget her smile. I enjoyed working with her at Hallmark where she was both a manager and a friend. She will be dearly missed. May she rest in peace as she reunites with family and friends who have gone before her. Heavens gates are much brighter now. Hugs to you Pat, Erin and Molly.
Love,
Joanie 💜
I am so sorry to hear that Susan passed. I was a grade school thru high school classmate of Susan’s. Susan was sort of my nemesis in school. She was a good athlete, smart and the “teacher’s pet”. She always knew what buttons to push of mine and gave me fits when we were at St Peters. I was fortunate to attend a grade school reunion a year ago and visit with Susan to remind me how special she was. My sympathy to her family.
