To Sue's Family - If this is the Sue and Sheri K that lived for several years in Northbrook, we were saddened to read of Sue's passing. Although life brings people in and out of all our lives, their spirit and love of life are remembered fondly at times like this. It was our pleasure to know your mom as a friend during that time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God will comfort you and give you strength. We are always here for you.



The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.



With Love,



The Jonas Family
