Hello, I wanted to send our condolences to Ron Sr. and the entire family. We met Sue when our daughter Emily & Ron were engaged and later married. Both, Sue and Ron where so gracious with their home and beautiful surroundings at Emily & Ron’s Wedding. They hosted a beautiful day. A few days before the wedding I had some special time chatting with Sue. She was so easy to talk too and the love for her family truly showed. She was beautiful inside and out and will be greatly missed. �� Love, Janell & Doug
