Udo and family- my sincerest condolences to you and your family at this trying time.  I had the pleasure of playing beside and at times on the other side of the net from Susan at tennis- enjoyed every match either way!  She is deeply missed.  ❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss, Udo.
I had so much fun playing tennis matches with Susan and you.
She will be greatly missed.

We have known Susan and Udo over the course of many years thru playing tennis with them during the winter and summer months . Susan was a great player and you could tell she'd loved being out on the courts and she was so classy looking too with those tennis outfits she wore. You couldn't meet a nicer person than Susan. She always had a special smile for everyone. Watching Udo and Susan together you could tell how much they meant to each other. They had something so special. We will truly miss you, Susan.

To Udo and Family, our deepest condolences upon this loss of such a special woman.

Udo it is with a heavy heart that Timo & I are sending our condolences for the loss of your Susan.

The two of you were a perfect match in so many ways, sharing activities that you both enjoyed, the skiing, fishing,tennis, golfing, diving, travelling together & with friends. The cottage times with friends and family. Susan embraced all of it. So many things to bond you, with your children, Chris, Andrea, Amanda and Ben, to participate in their lives and adventures. The delight of her Grandchild, Harlow. These are memories to treasure as she would want you to. I have learned that grief never ends, but it changes, in some ways it’s a journey. We think we cannot bear the pain when we realize we’ve lost the person who means the most to us, is gone, not hearing their voice, their laughter, feel their hugs. But I’ve found that just greeting each day anew, one foot in front of the other & getting through each day, the hurt dims with time. Susan was a joy to be with, cheerful & engaging. We will miss her stories & her positive view on life.Susan had a warm and generous spirit that drew people to her. She will be missed by many. Missed deeply by you who she loved & treasured, Ben and Amanda who she was so proud of. Udo there just aren’t words to express how saddened we feel that we will not be together again wth You and your beloved Susan, a real partner in life for you. We are so very sorry.

Hugs with love, Timo & Kami

Christian and I are so incredibly sorry for your loss. Words cannot truly describe how wonderful Susan was, but I will do my best to summarize my favourite memories. Susan was one of the kindest and most caring people I have had the honour of knowing. She immediately welcomed me into the family at a big cottage gathering. I was overwhelmed by the number of Francis family members, and was trying to make a good impression as the new girlfriend of her nephew Christian. Susan took the time to get to know me, and I have always been delighted to be able to spend quality time with her at family events. Susan was the best to have a chat with, and always gushed about her family, which I loved to hear. I have had the pleasure of partying with her on vacation, laughing with her as she does her best to learn a new board game at the cottage, and witnessing her tear up the dance floor with Udo at my wedding. Christian and I are deeply saddened by this loss, and will always regret that she never got the chance to meet our daughter Hailey. She will be missed, but her love and warmth will never be forgotten.

We are so sorry to hear about Susan's passing. Our deepest sympathy to all of you at this difficult time.

What can I say! How can I take this pain away from my precious neice and nephew??

Sue was my Sister in Law, my friend, Mother to my niece and nephew and even my bridesmaid!

Too many years have passed since we spoke, let alone spent time together. 

I have so many memories of our time together that I will keep  between  "US".

UDO, I have yet to meet you but I hear that you are an amazing man. Please know you are ALWAYS welcome to come to Alberta, get on a horse  go hunting,  with my husband Duane. 

I will never forget you Sue!🤪😘

Hello Udo, I am so sorry that this has happened and also for your terrible loss. I did not have the good fortune to know Susan but I have no doubt she was a lovely person, much like yourself.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take care. Your friend Paul Harrison
My sincere condolences to Udo and family handling the loss of Susan. So sad. Susan was my tennis captain a few summers ago, ensuring that our full team were there to compete. A strong and yet warm presence that I appreciated very much. I kept seeing her and Udo around the tennis court after that and when my wife and I were looking for a getaway during COVID , she and Udo arranged for us to stay at a cottage near them. My birthday fell in that week and both of them took us on a boat ride around the lake and then we had some evening champagne on the rock outside their cottage. I last saw the 2 of them leaving the tennis bubble before their trip. She had such a big smile on her face. I am so sorry for you Udo and your whole family. Sending you all love.

Sue was the best sister you could ever hope for.

She was alway there to help others almost to a fault.

She was the bond that held the family together.

Words can not express how much of a loss her passing is.

I will alway be looking for her in the boat, on the ski hill and at the golf course.

My sincere condolences to the Francis family. Susan was a dear colleague of ours. Her smile and kindness is what I’ll miss the most. Gone too soon. Sending prayers and love. 

My sincere condolences to Udo, the Francis family and the Kerschl family... 

I was so saddened and shocked to hear the news about Susan.  I've golfed with her for the past 4 years every week and I will miss her smile, her passion, and her exuberance.  She loved her family and we enjoyed sharing stories each week.  Soon we would have been back on the course.  She will be greatly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.    

Udo.  I am in shock.  I saw the passing of your dear Susan in the newspaper today.  My deepest condolences.
