   Dear Jeni, Shar and Steeber family and friends, I med Sue only one long afternoon and evening in San Francisco. She’d had an exhausting day getting from Medford via various plane rides (sometimes in the opposite direction) to the Bay Area for her nieces wedding. She was frazzled and wanted some wine and to eat. We had a terrific afternoon and evening becoming fast friends with a strong bond. She never mentioned any illnesses. She was just so caring and concerned for her dear brother at the wedding and reception after he’d had a TBI with residual cognitive effects.
   I figured out how to get us the wine and some delicious ramen for dinner. That was the only food available at the hotel. We talked for hours! I was heading to Ireland and caught back up with her when I returned. It was like we’d known each other all our lives. I saw her photo in the pretty blue dress she’d picked out for the wedding, she looked beautiful and so happy.
   Eventually her cancer came back which of course was a surprise to me since I didn’t know she’d ever had it prior. We kept corresponding and I got to sort of get to know Jeni and Shar through Sue and then when Jeni would text me updates as time went on. Sue living as long as she did is a testament to how much she willed herself to continue to be with them and the superb care they and the medical team gave Sue.
   I am really sad for all of your family and friends losing Sue.
   I know I was really looking forward to having Sue as a friend and us visiting each other and doing things together for years to come. Of course this doesn’t compare to your families loss.
   The world has lost a caring, selfless, bright, funny woman and all around superb human being.
   I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it in person to Sue’s memorial. I’ve felt I’ve gotten to know Jeni and Shar a little via Sue and sweet Jeni texting me for Sue with updates when it was too difficult for Sue. You, your brother, Shar, the rest of the family and friends are impacted forever. May you find peace in her joyous memory knowing Sue’s no longer suffering and combined to a bed and is in a better place with her husband and the Lord.
   Much love and peace to you all,
   Carley

   So sorry for your loss. I wish I had gotten to know my Aunt more, but every memory I have of her was happy. She sure loved Goofy! I gave her a couple Goofy gifts as a kid and I always imagined them in her “Goofy” room. She was my Godmother, and she never missed a birthday! I got a card from her every year! Such a wonderful person! Rest in peace, Auntie Sue.

   I’m so thankful for this live broadcast as I was unable to make the trip due to an incur to my back! Sue was such a sweet and special person for all the years I knew her. All through high school and then rekindled when I found out she lived in Oregon! God bless you Sue and enjoy eternity with your love of your life, Tom!
   Love,
   Nancy

   To Sue’s Family,

   I first met Sue when she was about 6 year’s old. She was the feisty little sister of Ken and Sheri, soon to be followed by little brother Leffie.

   Sheri and I were best friends all throughout high school, so I was able to grown up with her amidst her own family, and she mine. I still hear Mary’s lovely laughter to this day. And Steve’s love of model airplanes. Remember?

   My deepest sympathy to you, Sue’s loving family. May your memories of her and of this day all together bring you joy.

    Growing up, Sue was like the sister that I never had. There are too many memories for me to post, so here are a few. It started with the family get togethers that were every holiday and sometimes just because. They were the best! Then there were the sleepovers with the best cinnamon toast ever and crawling into her little attic space for a special place to play. One summer we both learned how to sew from Singer Sewing, made beautiful dresses and wore them in a fashion show after. Before I knew it, we were both married and pregnant with our first child. We lived close to each other and spent many days together. Once Jeni and Chris were born, Sue and Tom moved. Both our families grew and we got busier. We didn’t talk as much, but when we did, we didn’t miss a beat! We picked up right where we left off. She has never lost her spot in my heart.
    Love and miss you Cuz ❤️
