    Kel and I were shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of Sue. She was such a sweet person and emanated the light of Christ. Thanking God that she is now present with Him, and praying that He will comfort you in your grief.
    In sincere sympathy,

  3. Ken, we are holding you in prayer. Grief is love with no where to go but Heaven and that is where she is. In the arms of Jesus. We are thinking of you and praying for the Lord to blanket you in His love during this difficult time.

  4. Ken, I was so saddened by the news of Sue’s passing. Her gentle spirit and kindness touched my heart. She often brought the voice of our Savior’s love and hope to our Bible study. May you know His comfort in this time of sorrow.

  5. Dear Ken, I pray for God’s peace for you and Sue’s family. Her deep faith is still an inspiration for many of us in the Christ Church Bethany family.

  6. My heart hurts. She was truly one of a kind. She was never scared to show her love to all she met humans and animals of all kinds. Wish we had more time. Sending all my love and hugs to heal your broken heart.

  7. Dear Uncle Ken,

    I do not have the words to comfort you during this time of your great loss of your beloved wife and my Aunt Sue. All I can say is this, Aunt Sue was there for me and Lisa when our mother passed and without hesitation or question she did what she always has done. She showered me and my sister with her love, understanding, gentleness, and kindness. This was and is her essence. She was truly special and one of a kind. I will never forget her and she will forever be in our thoughts and prayers. I am so grateful for our recent visits.

    If you need anything please don’t hesitate to ask.

    All my love,

    Paul

  8. We absolutely love her. We share your pain but also her joy at being home. Holding Ken and the family up in prayer.

  10. Dear Ken, I am so sorry to hear of Sue’s passing. She was such a joyful child of God and talented musician. So many loving memories of our time together in Tres Dias as well as your visit to our home in NC. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

  11. Dear Ken

    There are no words adequate enough to convey my deepest sympathies at this time. I know Sue was a dear saint of God who radiated the love of Christ. All I can say right now is take refuge that she is home with Jesus and our separation is temporary; knowing that Heaven is our permanent home. Take Care

    • As I read this I can not help but to remember the good times. One when I was much younger still and elementary school and I remember the many times you would play the guitar for us at St. John’s in North Haven. You became like a second mother to me then. And then years later in my adult life I run into you and Ken at the Tres Dias weekend that made my entire weekend. Ken you are a second father ro me also and always. You are in my prayers

  15. Dear Ken and Family,
    We were so sorry to learn of Sue’s sudden passing! Our deepest condolences go out to you and the family. She is now singing with the angels.
    Our Love and Prayers are with you.

  16. Dear Ken,
    We are truly sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved wife. Sue was such a dear and special lady — to know her was to love her. She radiated God’s love through her joy, her singing, and her guitar playing. We have such wonderful memories of her singing with us in choir. May the knowledge that she is safe with her God give you peace and comfort during this difficult days.
    With our most sincere sympathy, Sue and John Tibor
