Fremont, NE Saturday, February 15, 2014 Our sympathy to Suzie's family.Suzie has been a friend of mine since 1942-43.She lived a block away from me and Arlene(Bucknell) Raasch.The 3 of us ran around together and always went to the 4-H Fair together to celebrate my birthday.Didn't see much of each other after we got married and had families but we never forgot each others birthdays and sent cards or called.Suzie continued to call me occasionally to talk and I called her on her birthday.I will miss her phone calls and talking about our childhoods and the old neighborhood..She missed Denny terribly and am so glad she will be reunited with him and will thrive in God's Heavenly Home.Love and will miss you,dear old friend.Gregg Kupfer
Omaha, NE Friday, February 14, 2014 Denny and Suzy were very good friends of my father. Grew up with both their daughters. Visited their beautiful home up on the bluffs many times with my father. Good people. I know she has missed Denny a lot since he passed. How wonderful that they're together again! Give my brother Pud a big hug. I know you both knew him through my father.
