This is such a tough loss; Sue and Don have both had such a huge impact on my life. Their leadership at Cedar Falls Church of the Nazarene helped propel me toward a real and lasting relationship with Jesus, and that will never be forgotten. The family has my prayers and deepest sympathy. God bless, Lisa Brown

So, sorry to hear of Sue's passing. I was a student at the University of Iowa when they pastored First Church. I always felt at home at church and when in their home.

Sorry to learn of Sue's passing. Brian, Julie, Nancy and I have so many fond memories of the years you shared with us in Iowa City. Sue's talent and commitment to our Lord was an inspiration to all.
Two trips to Mexico, one of which was very remarkable. We still have fond memories of each of you. Your feelings of loss and sadness remain. However , knowing that she has been welcomed Home as a good and faithful servant. We celebrate her live and memories flood our minds. Enjoy sharing your memories with each other as you heal. Blessings.
