Thank you all


After the past days we are overwhelmed by the love and care we have received from all of you - what a great honor to Sue.


Today's memorial service was moving and memorable. We would like to thank Pastor Shirley Heeg for her leadership and wonderful directing of the service. Tim Macken and the wonderful folks of Macken Funeral Home handled things so well - thank you. The folks of Church of the Savior as we as Church of the Resurrection were great in helping to assure we had a perfect service. Kim Schmidt's singing was beautiful. And, the food and service provided by the Canadian Honker was top notch!


Our friends and family members were there for us as always - thank you!


And finally - thank you to my two wonderful kids, Holly and Drew. They spoke from the heart today and did so in a manner that had to make their mother very proud!


It has been a challenging time for all of us - but together we have gotten through it. Sue is now where she belongs and while we will miss her immensely, we know she is watching us forever from above. God Bless - Ed

Ed,

Sue would be so proud to see the dignity and grace with which you, Holly and Drew all have handled the last few days. You and Sue did a great job raising two wonderful kids! We too will miss Sue greatly, but look forward to seeing you real soon.
