Memories

Del & Cindy, I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember the fun times the boys had when they visited your home on lake Frances & Sue made malts in the malt machine, fished & just had a wonderful time. Sue & Cindy were so good with Pam & she loved them both. I was never able to find some one to care for her that measured up. Sue was a wonderful person, keep her memories alive in your hearts forever. Margie

We were shocked to see Sue's obituary in the Wells paper. We couldn't get to see during this time but want you to know how much we care and remember the good times we had back in Wells. Had not heard that Sue was ill or any reason for her death. If you wish, please e-mail us. We especially remember the times that Darin, our youngest, stayed with Sue and Cindy on the days that I worked. He is now 38 years old and a piano performance degree. Did play at Carnegie Hall 2 years ago. That little boy that sat in that high chair at your lunch table. We send our love and sympathy to your family.

I saw Suzanne's obituary in the Wells Mirror tonight. Sorry to hear the bad news. I always enjoyed visiting with Suzanne. Cindy and I were in the same class and I believe I was the first guy to dance with her at one of our teen dances. I wonder if she remembers that? Gramma Naomi Clarke and Lil were always good friends and I will always remember your beautiful house in Wells. Again, sorry for your loss. Sincerely Chuck Clarke
