Dear Lonnie and family,
Sue was one of our favorite receptionists! She was so easy to love because she loved so easily. She made our coworkers and our customers feel right at home as she worked with us at Fine Designs. We were supposed to have lunch together soon. I will miss her dearly! It was such a pleasure knowing her and working with her.
May God bless your family with peace and comfort.

Wow. So sorry to hear the news about Susan. Being next door neighbors for most of my younger years, she was a big part of it. Always smiling and lauging, just always happy. The whole family were just great to be around! Again, so sorry.
Im so sorry for the loss of your wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I was so sad to hear the news that Susan is no longer with us. She had a bright bubbly personality that shined within her and her silliness bubbled over to anyone she spoke to. She was a fun loving person and her laughter was contagious.
I worked with her at Trail Ridge Senior Living. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Dear Lonnie and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Susan’s passing. I worked with her at Fine Designs. She was an amazing, loving and beautiful person. She always had a smile on her face and always willing to help. My daughter Laura would always follow her around and try to help her when I would go in and get my hair done. Laura adored her. Susan will be greatly missed by everyone she has met.
My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Lonnie,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife. I am so very grateful that I was able to visit with you both on your last trip out to Colorado. I know Terri will cherish those memories she and the rest of the family have of that trip. I have been keeping you in my prayers and thoughts. Susan had a great smile and laugh. I loved seeing her hold the newest great grand baby. You both looked so happy and proud. I am terribly sorry.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Terri, Marty, Jason, Jake and the rest of your family.
Love, Kim
I am so sorry guys she is a great person she will be sadly missed
Lonnie,
Alanna and I were shocked to learn of Susan’s death. She was still young with lots of energy. Our thoughts are with you and your family. We are so sorry for the sorrow you all are going through.

Terry & Alanna Hewins
