Dear Steve and sons,



Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.

I can't even describe the feelings and disbelief I felt when I saw Sue's name in the obituary column. My memories of Sue (and you) go way back to our days at Wetzel and when everyone was young, newly married and looking ahead to a happy future.



I am happy for both of you that you were blessed with many years together and most of all for your sons - truly a gift from God.



Sincerely,

Denise & Tom McNulty

and family

Dear Sirota and Wright Family,



My friend Denise McNulty(Yonker) who was a WIU Wetzel friend also, informed me about Sue's death. I have a short story for you.....

Though I hadn't seen Sue for many years, during the summer of 2001, when I was at a College of DuPage concert, I passed Sue in the lobby. I recognized her immediately! She looked great! We had a nice chat, and planned to meet for lunch, but it never worked out. I will remember Sue with her big smile and laugh with the squeak!



My sincere condolences to all of you.
