I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Dennis and all of the family and friends. Sue was always so nice to me. I never had the chance to meet up with the family in Arizona. My thoughts and prayers to you all.
YOU fought the fight Dear Sister until the end. You were/are Loved beyond words and will remain FOREVER in our thoughts, prayers and Hearts♥ No longer in pain/suffering. Fly with the Angels but send us signs from time-to-time. We’ll know you are there. Rest In Heavenly Peace♥ You will be missed♥
Dennis – I am so sorry for your loss. May your wife’s memory always be a blessing. You and your family are in my prayers.
Deepest sympathy to Dennis and family from Mary and I. The family was deep in Sue’s heart. 7 years is a long battle and we were happy to at least know that Sue made it to see the kids graduate from high school (who we are still picturing as small kids). I hope you find comfort in friends, family, and our common faith. “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” – Romans 8:38-39
My dearest niece. Since you were a wee girl you’ve always been special, loving and caring. We are all heart broken and will always cherish our time spent together ❤
Dennis,
