Ron and family…I am so sorry to hear about your loss. You know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Call me for anything!
To the Pringer family:
My heart is saddened with the news of Susan’s passing. She lifted spirits as soon as she entered a room.
She was a fun, loving, caring and giving lady. (She gave so much of herself, especially, her time and her musical talent)
I will cherish the memories of our time spent together (choir rehearsals & performances). She played beautifully.
Peace, prayers and blessings,
Carla

Susan was very young when I first met her. She wanted to share her gerbel or some such animal and though I appreciated the offer I wanted not part of an animal that looked like a rat. Though we didn’t see her often, we really enjoyed our time together. What fun! We love you Susan and hope you are enjoying what all of us thoughr of you. Donna
I was so very sorry to read about Susie’s passing. I lived next door to the Gnagi family on Ridgeway Drive for years and got to know Susie (as I always called her) and considered her a dear friend. She was always pleasant and up-beat and I have a lot of memories of her, the Gnagi family and her sister, Mary Ann. I moved away and lost touch with her but all these fond memories of her, from over 40 years ago, are flooding back into my mind. I know heaven will welcome her with loving and open arms. She has left everyone who knew her with warm memories.

Dear Pringer Family,
I wanted to write and express my deepest condolences for your loss of Susan. Loosing someone we love is definitely one of the hardest things a human being can experience. Something that has always brought me comfort when facing the death of someone I love is the promise at Revelation 21:4, there it says, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Just imagine a time when all of your loved ones will once again be with you, and you will no longer have any reason to cry; that truly is a beautiful promise we can look forward to.
I hope this message is able to give you a small amount ocomfort at this trying time.
Sincerely,
Anna

With deepest sympathy to all of the family at the passing of such a faith-filled & beautifully talented “angel” who provided music for most of the Stegeman’s anniversary, wedding & funerals, even singing at mom’s, “From A Distance” just from listening to the tape!

Eric, you and your family are all in our thoughts. It’s apparent from all the messages what a wonderful woman your mother was. You have tremendous support and outreach here at work. Best wishes to all of you. Thinking of you, everyone at Level 3.
Ron, Amy, and Eric,
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of Sue. She took me under her wing and taught me so many things about music and playing the organ in church and at weddings. Several times, I sat and watched her play trying to learn from her techniques and looked forward to hearing her anytime she played. I have always looked up to her and I feel blessed to have gotten to know her throughout the years when I was younger. I know she will be missed greatly.
God Bless,
Anne (Weber) Hickman – Daughter of Diane (Lucy)

Ron and family,
I am so sorry for your loss of wife, mother and grandmother. Susan and I grew up together, living across the street from one another and attending St Joseph School. We had some good times together.
Know that she is in the prescence of the Almighty and playing music for him.

Ron and family, I am sorry for your loss .I had the pleasure to sing with Susan . She was truly blessed with the gift of music .
Ron, Amy and Eric,
I am so sorry for your loss. Sue left me a message saying she was doing well a couple of months ago and when I heard the news that she had passed it was, of course, terrible. My parents were glad they had visited her the week before. I remember bringing my boyfriends to meet her, even my husband Paul. Your family and she had an enormous impact on our family when I was young and I have always loved her candor, humor and faith. I think I try to emulate her in some ways. Her unconditional love for me was very healing. (It’s too bad her dog was such a b—-) My prayers are with you.
