Ron Dupee wrote a sympathy message

“What a surprise when Ron got a call from Sue. For him to find out that he had a sister in Wis. Sue and Ken flew to L.V. to meet us and that started years of adventuresome vacations and developing friendships and family connections.We will always be so grateful to her for reconnecting us to Wis. We had great times in Door County and enjoying her many recipes. She always traveled well stocked. We always had great game nights. They taught us lots of games that we still play..We are grateful. Ron”
