Paul I am so very sorry.
Paul & Chelsea,
Sending love and prayers to you. We adored Sue… She was such a sweet, kind and fun person! We truly always enjoyed catching up on the lake, “dartying”, concerts, fire pits, etc. with Sue. It was a blessing to have her as a friend and neighbor, and even more so to share life’s celebrations such as weddings, grandbabies, and other milestones. She will be missed, but not forgotten. 🩷
Love,
Mike & Lisa Trube and family

Paul and Chelsea I am so very sorry. Sue was such sweet, kind and loving soul to everyone. It was my pleasure to work with her at Mercy South. We had such fun and shared so many laughs at work. She was always smiling and full of life. I will miss her friendship and group dinners together. Sending all my love and prayers to you. I love you Sue, my dear friend.
Paul, wishing you, Chelsea and rest of the family peace and strength during this difficult time. Sue was the quintessential lady in how she treated others and we all mourn her loss. Deepest condolences.
Paul and Chelsea I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Sue and I went through our cancer journey around the same time. She was a bright light for me and gave me hope and encouragement. Sue was there for me when my youngest son was struggling. I will never forget her. Please know that Sue will be remembered in my daily prayers
We know Sue’s beautiful soul and spirit is brightening up heaven already. The fun times we enjoyed together at Innsbrook will be special memories we will keep. The annual Darty and her being the hostess with the mostest, along with her somore fixings around your firepit are two of my favorites. She will never be forgotten and grateful we got to call her a friend.
Paul,
I and the Therina family extend our deepest sympathies to you, your daughter, family, and friends. May all the fond moments and memories of Susan provide a measure of comfort during this mournful time.
