See Condolences

My deepest condolences to all of you, ya'll are in our thoughts and prayers. Suggie was a wonderful lady that I will never forget. I will always be greatful that she called mom after daddy died.

Suggie will be greatly missed. Greg and Jeff, may God wrap you in memories to comfort you and give you a lighter heart in coming weeks. With love, Carol and Chuck Anderson

Alice (Suggie) was a very special lady to my children and myself. We will always have fond memories or her as a part of our extended family.

In the past few years I got to know Suggie from my mother, Barb Swann. She was always so kind and considerate. She teased me about her dog making up to me and wanted to make sure that Ellie wouldn't end up in my suitcase going back to Kansas. Will be thinking of the whole family this week. Debbie

Our thoughts remain with you and your family at this time. We are honored by the trust and confidence you have placed in us during this difficult time. – The Staff of Malloy Funerals & Cremations
