"Bob & Mernice, Sue was one of a kind. She was strong-willed, spontaneous, and would do things to make me laugh. She put a smile on my face and I?m thankful for the opportunity to have gotten to care for her. I learned a lot from Sue and I?ll never forget her. "

"Dear Bob & Family,
Sue was a member of the QHS Class of 1958 with us. We have had 3 former classmates pass away within the last month. It is always difficult to realize that time marches on.
As ever,
Dick & Pat Wentura"
