I was just an infant when I came to the Kieffers. Was not even one year old yet. I stayed with Sue till I was a teenager and visited long after. She was a seond mother to me. What I remember most about Sue was that she had a way of letting you know she loved you and had your best interests at hand. She'd be loving when you needed it and tough when you needed to be taught a lesson. She wasn't afraid of being both a friend when you needed it and a parent in order to teach you an important life lesson! Being around her and all the kids she babysat as well as her own children taught me so much about life and prepared me in a way the classroom never could. And look at how her kids turned out? Each one of them is amazing and it wouldn't be possible if she wasn't the strong and loving person that she was. She graced this earth with a gift that few posess. The ability to love and nurture and bring up so many people at one time. My memories of the days growing up on Northway Drive with her and her family are endless. Too endless to list here. She will be forever in my heart, forever apart of my childhood. I loved Sue as if she were my own mother. I will miss her and I hope I get to see her again in heaven! Love you Sue. You were a very rare and special person that graced this earth for too short a time.

I went to grade school with both Dave and Sue at St. Vincent. Sue was always so nice and a very caring person. I can only imagine how she passed on those same qualities to her children and in her every day life. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. My condolences to the entire Kieffer family
