Guestbook
Alice, brothers, sisters, spouses and grandchildren, your mom and grandmother was one of the sweetest, most gracious women I have known. Although I don’t know most of you, a part of her beautiful spirit will always live on in you. And while it’s been over 40 years ago, she made the best blackberry cobbler I’ve ever eaten! I remember that evening at the home place as if it were yesterday.
Sue was my cousin….Been many years since I last saw her but she used to stop by to visit with my mother, Margaret Dulle, frequently through the years…My mother always thought a lot of her and I remember her as being very nice as well as very pretty as a young lady….I am sure she left behind a lot of good memories
I wanted to again express my deepest sympathies to the entire family. Aunt Sue was my Godmother (your dad was my Godfather) and I always remember how sweet and kind she was. I am so sorry for your loss. If anyone would like to keep in touch, you can find me on Facebook. I would love to hear from you. Much love, Doug Carel
