deconner@gmail.com My sister made all her nieces and nephews feel like they were each the most special person ever born. She didn't have her own kids but she made each of our kids her own kids.

rriley50@aol.com I loved the way my sister could always make me smile and feel better about life. She was so wanderful with my children and they could do no wrong in her eyes. I miss her great hugs and warm smile. She could brighten my day just pulling into the driveway.

Sballlar16@aol.com I will always remember when Sue would always come over after work and help me with any test I had the next day. I will always remember her warm hugs and how she was so forgiving to everyone and nice. I will always love her and miss her.

Stieler2114@aim.com Everytime I went over to the Riley's house, Sue was almost always there. She would always greet me with "Hey Chrissy!" along with a big hug and a huge smile. She will always have a place in my heart. I am so extremely glad that I knew such a sweet and caring lady.

chriskberg@msn.com Sue was my big sister that I looked up to, admired, and always wanted to be with. She always had a way to cheer you up or comfort you or just make you laugh. I miss her sweet smile and think of her every day. We just bought a truck for my sons to drive and as I was teaching them to drive a stick I remembered Sue teaching me. You laughed a whole lot more than I did Sue.

svivian@scnazarethky.org One of my earliest memories of Sue is connected to a visit of the Conner family to my first mission at St. Ann Convent in Louisville. There must have been about 40 Sisters of Charity living there and I was so proud of my niece's talents;I had her recite and act out a poem...yes, probably about 40 times. Even at that young age, probably 4 or 5, she knew...without a doubt...how to make others happy. Thank you God, for the many, many happy memories. (Aunt Georgie)

sandyflamingo@excite.com I worked with Sue at Gastroenterology Associates. We went on week-end Christmas shopping trips with several other girlfriends at work and always had fun. I see her name in charts of patients she has taken care of and it always brings back fond memories. She is very missed.

arguth1@usieagles.org I will never forget Sue's warm embrace everytime I saw her. She was such an amazing woman of God, always showing it in her faith and actions. I looked up to her so much, and I am blessed for having experienced her motherly love and friendship.

I met Sue in May of 2000 when I joined the staff of Gastro. Assoc. Sue welcomed me from my first day and immediately became a very special friend. She was always so caring and concerned about others, and when my own family encountered hardships, she was so supportive with her kindness, many hugs, caring thoughts and an ear to listen. She even blessed us with her delicious chicken noodle soup. Sue's beautiful smile and laughter were contagious and I will always remember and cherish her friendship. We reminisce about Sue often and miss her dearly but know that she is with us always.

I first met Sue in May of 2000 when I joined the staff at Gastro. Assoc. From my first day Sue welcomed me and became a very special friend. She was a very kind, caring person, who was always there to lend an ear, a shoulder to cry on and hugs to get you through any hardship. Her smile and laughter were contagious. Her chicken noodle soup...the BEST! We share special memories of our time with Sue and miss her dearly, but I still feel her close in my heart. A picture of her with that beautiful smile greets me each day at work when I open my locker and she makes me smile. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to know Sue.

gjpeters4@aol.com I can't remember when I've felt more at peace, sitting near the Christmas tree to open the daily mail in our home in Oklahoma. The photo of Sue; the beautiful letter and invitation to assist a nurse who will continue her legacy of love and care of others...what a blessing in this special season of Advent. My parents and Sue's parents were friends before any of their 16 children were born. Only recently, I cried when coming upon a photo of my deceased mother & Bill and Joan Conner in the coolest "vintage" clothes, all smiles. The Conner family is like no other; their faith and commitment to family & friends is totally remarkable. So, it comes as no surprise to me that you, that they, have found a level of acceptance of Sue's passing from earth and are honoring her life in such a positive way. I knew Sue better as a child than as a woman ~ we moved to a different region of the country. Yet numerous family and friends confirmed through the years that Sue lived as "the greatest in the kingdom." "Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles herself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me." ~Matthew 18: 3-5. Conners, All, your daughter and sister has shown us the way, in part, because she felt your support and strength all through her earthly life. Thank you for your examples, for your love in establishing the Scholarship in her name, and most of all, for allowing us all to share in the healing. We will be in touch. A big "Sue Hug" to each of you this Christmas season. Much love, many prayers, Glenda May Peters

ddickman@stewartwarnersw.com Sue, I dream & think of you all the time. You were my very best friend. We had wonderful times & sad times. I thank the Lord that he introduced us. You were my rock when I went through my chemo, by my side always. Calling me & checking up on me. I miss your beautiful smile, your great laugh,your warm hugs & your advice that you were so good at giving. It is so hard to imagine going on without you. I am so glad to have all those wonderful memories you left me with. I still hear your enthusiastic greeting-"Hey Wolfie girl" I guess the good Lord thought your work was done here. I sure wish you were still here. You are an Angel & I love you so much. You treated & cared for everyone the same. The love you had for your family was remarkable. Thanks to all the Conners for sharing Sue with all of us. Love to all the Conners & for this wonderful web site. It is almost like having my buddy back. Rest in Peace my Susie Q

joanahess@hotmail.com I have known Sue almost all of my life. I will always treasure the many times we played together as young children (I always loved that 3rd floor of the Conner house). Sue and I went through 12 years of school together and I believe we were always friends even when we didn't socialize with each other. She always had that ready smile on her face. When Sue moved back to the area, we were able to see each other occasionally and it was like we were never apart. We had so much history together. Tim, I feel sure Denny was on hand to welcome her home to heaven and that has made me feel better for both of them. Love to all of the Conner family. Joan

mjwetzel47630@yahoo.com I grew up knowing and caring for the Conner family during my childhood in Tell City. There were many similarities amongst our families; parental friendship, even sharing an apt.complex early on above what we remember as the "June Bug" bridal shoppe (many stories; huge numbers of children for each family and most especially the Catholic faith we shared are just a few commonalities. I spent a lot of time at the Conner home, as Theresa and I attended both grade school and high school together, graduating in 1981. Their home was full of love, fun, a great pool and awesome snacks too! There was an unspoken bond between the kids, much like my own family and visiting their home was a very safe place for me. Bill and Joan were always very kind to everyone, often welcoming the rowdiest of kids. Unlike my oldest sister Glenda who also signed this book, I knew Sue mostly as an adult because we were both in the health care field. We worked together at St. Mary's and always talked when we saw one another... comparing family stories, getting the latest on all the brothers and sisters. I remember Sue's smile and her gentleness the most. She was genuinely interested in me as well as my family and always smiled as she spoke of her own.It is a blessing when you have had the opportunity to befriend a "Sue" in your lifetime. This gift in her memory is beautiful, just as Sue was and just as all of you are.

connerfloor@yahoo.com Memories of Sue: "morning Sue", squinty eyes, steaming cup of coffee in hand, 20 year old flannel nightgown. Cold pizza for breakfast. Or scrambled eggs with catsup. "Easter Sue" creeping around on the hill at 50 Luzern, giggling and 'hiding' eggs out in the open so all the kids could find them. "Christmas Sue", laughing at the mechanical pig that oinked and flipped until she had tears streaming down her face and sneaking into the tree when she thought no one was watching so she could find something with her name on it, shake it and maybe pull a little tape loose for a peek. Teaching her nieces and nephews the same tricks."Meltdown Sue", trying to find her way around Indy for her oldest brother's wedding, making wrong turns in her little VW,shedding a few tears (!) "Nurse Sue" doing surgery and first-aid and rehab on everything from a splinter to a broken ego. "Ahlete Sue" pogo sticking her way to a concussion. "Beach Sue" sharing her lake, swimming, canoeing, fishing. "Cook Sue", gardening, canning, and putting pepper in the mashed potatoes. "Listening Sue" always there for family, friends, patients. Our Sue - Nurturing, caring, praying, laughing, loving. Always teaching..."love, love, love." I hope we never forget. Sister-in-law Harriet

trlilly@stmarys.org I didn't know Sue, but I continue to hear from others here at St. Mary's who served with her. She obviously left a legacy of compassionate service to the sick and suffering who received her care.

b.southard@insightbb.com I met Sue when I started working at Gastroenterology Associates in 1999, my husband and I also bowled on a team with her and Vic-that was such an enjoyable time, so many laughs. I will always remember Sue's smile and her sense to live life to the fullest, it was an honor for me to be a part of her life and to have her as a friend. I will never forget our weekend shopping trip to Nashville with other girlfriends-our pictures speak a thousand words. I know she is in heaven watching over my baby girl Madison--that is what she is best known for-loving children! I will love and miss you forever Sue. Love-Rebecca

jdmm@sigecom.net What a beautiful website~ One of my special memories of Sue, was the time we shared in our High School typing class, as we were partners. Neither of us liked the class much, so we entertained ourselves by talking alot to keep it fun. What a friend - we shared so much...good talks, countless good times, and too many slumber parties to even count. We even shared the same boyfriend for awhile during our Sophomore year! That was interesting until the guy found out and decided he wouldn't go out with either one of us. I can honestly say I felt so "at home" at your home...so much love & warmth. I will always remember your giant Christmas tree. Sue was proud to show it to me after going out one evening. God Bless each of you for allowing us to remember Sue and contribute to such a beautiful scholarship in her honor...your family has always known how to do it right! ~Much love & many prayers in the months ahead, J.D. & Marsha (May) LeClere

katiebug@evansville.net What a beautiful web site. There also were five sisters in our family. Sue always understood the "sister" thing, we had fun talking about ours. My favorite memory of Sue involves a story that I can't share( some may not understand), but we laughed so hard we nearly wet our pants. I'm glad I knew her, she made me a better person.

strobk@pccs.k12.in.us At a difficult time in my life, feelings of unworthiness and loss, it was Sue that welcomed me, didn't judge me, and let me know I was worthy of love. I will never forget being at the 4-H grounds for my brother's graduation party. I was feeling uncomfortable and uneasy around others, especially with the recent changes in my life. It was like Sue had a radar for those that needed comfort and understanding. She scoped me out immediately and came straight towards me. She greeted me with loving arms that wrapped around me so tightly and said, "You're going to be O.K. girl and I love you." Compassion for others was one of the many valuable skills Sue had to teach others. She is in my thoughts and I just try to remember how important a simple smile can be to others. Your cousin, Kim Strobel

jlmullally@hotmail.com I am Susan's cousin and Goddaughter. We lived all the way in Washington State, so I didn't see Sue often. when I did see her, I enjoyed every minute of it. Sue had a great voice, I can still hear it sometimes, it was gentle and calming, it made me feel safe and happy. I miss you Susan! I'm sorry I wasn't in Seattle when you came to visit.......
