Dear Paul and family,

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.
Paul, I am so very sorry to hear of your wife’s passing. I am praying for you and your family for peace and strength during this very difficult time.
Paul and Chelsea, words cannot begin to tell how much a part of my life my ‘Little Sis’ was and how much you mean to me because of her. Enough of the words, just feel the love.
Paul, I am so sorry for your loss. Larry dies six years ago and even though you get through the grief, you never get over the loss. I pray the Lord grant you HIS peace and strengthen you for the months ahead. I’m in charge of a Griefshare program at Concordia Kirkwood. If I can help in any way, please give me a call.
I am very sad to hear of Sue’s passing. She was a dear childhood friend. We spent a lot of fun times at each other’s homes. Sue was so kind and had a wonderful sense of humor. My deepest condolences to her family. Rest in peace my friend.
To the family of Sue…I am truly sorry to hear about Sue. My deepest sympathy to all of you. She was a great co worker where we worked together for 4 years in endoscopy at Mercy South before she left. Although our friendship was short , we had a lot of fun times working together. I only regret not knowing her longer. I’ll treasure our after work get togethers (the last one less than a year ago) and how we talked about being only 6 months apart in age. Fly high Sue and will see you in Heaven. Miss you !
Sending my deepest condolences to Sue’s family. Heaven has gained a beautiful soul. Rest in peace my friend, you were one of a kind.
Paul and Chelsea, we are so very sorry for your loss. Sue was the sweetest soul. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Paul, I just heard the terrible news. I’m so sorry for your loss old friend!
