A true servant of the LORD, a great encourager, really concerned about the spiritual health of young people, and a good friend! Going to miss her.
Steve,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family in this difficult time.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Steve, Josh & Rachel: My heart is just broken to see this. I can’t imagine the pain and heartache you are having. I dearly loved Sue and she was one of my favorite people I met through my years at the dental office. I just can’t believe it……Please know I am thinking of you all…..Heaven has truly gained an ANGEL!!!!!
We always loved to be a small part of your farm & church family!
i called her “my roomie” since our great time sharing a room on the family cruise to the Panama Canal two years ago. What a great memory!! Many other good times over the 34 years I knew her.
My condolences to your family
May she rest in paradise
Dear family of Sue,
So sorry for your loss. It makes my heart sad that she has left this earth. But i know that she is celebrating with her Lord and will greet her family and friends when the Lord calls us home.
Ive known sue since our days in Oregon on Yamhill street.
Steve, Josh, Rachel and family
I am so sorry for your loss. Sue was a beautiful bright light that shone brightly for the Lord. I told her once that I was socially awkward and she said “so am I “. If that is true, I never saw it. She made me laugh and smile every time I was with her. She will be so missed on this side of Heaven. Praying for you all during this difficult time.
Steve, Rachael, Josh & Cori,
Sue left a tremendous legacy of faithfulness and service to the Lord. Praying for you as life goes on without your beloved wife, closest friend, and mother.
I will miss her smile and laughter at church. She was always a blessing to be around and a great influence on every child she came in contact with – and touched so many lives! She will be missed greatly, and Johnson family – you have a strong support system and so many friends here!
I enjoyed your laughter and your smile. You will truly be missed. Thoughts and prayers and love for Steve and family.
Dear Steven and family:
I am so very sorry for your loss. Sue was a friend and classmate of mine. We both lived in Hallam Nebraska during High School – attended Create High as a member of the class of 1973 . She was so very special – loving and kind to all. May the Lord give you comfort as you grieve.
I met Sue at Doane College. Years later I ran into her at IHCC when I was there for a program and we were both surprised and happy to see we were living for the Lord. Sue had a contagious smile and welcoming spirit. While many will mourn her death, there is comfort in knowing she is with the Lord. May the family be comforted by family, friends, precious memories, and the peace in knowing she’s in a better place.
I am so saddened and so sorry for your loss. Sue was such a fun and loving person. We had many good times when we worked together. Steve, Josh and Rachael you have my deepest sympathy.
Dear Steve and Family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I will keep Sue, you and your family in my prayers. God Bless my friend.
Thoughts and prayers for you to experience Heavenly peace
through your faith in the Almighty. She has met him face to face.
I am so sorry for your loss. Sue was a Stampin’ Up! friend. Though I did not know her well, her death was a personal loss to me because of the beautiful person she was. She will be missed. We thank the Lord that He now holds her in his arms for eternity.
Sue always had a smile and was up for the next adventure. You could tell that she loved people and the Lord. She is leaving a wonderful testimony for her family and friends. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and do not lean on your own understanding…in all your ways acknowledge him..and he will make straight your paths.
Our prayers are with your family during your loss. Sue was a beautiful person! We can rest in peace knowing she is with the Lord!!!
Steve, Josh and family, our prayers and thoughts are with you. I will always remember Sue’s friendly smile. God’s comfort be with you all as Sue continues to smile down upon you.
Steve,Rachael,Josh&Cori;
My thoughts and prayers are for
you to experience Heavenly peace
