Who didn't LOVE Mr. Greyerbiehl? He made everyone feel special...and happy to be in his presence. He was a man of so much pride in his family, absolute respect and care and love for his wife. A special father, faithful friend to all who knew him. When you entered his home one would immediately feel warm and a sense of joy. I will miss him greatly and the way he made me laugh. So many to reunite in Heaven with now.. be at peace with those you have missed dearly as I know we'll see you again someday....I'll listen for the bagpipes. Love Jennifer Rehmann

Kathy LaClair Hutchinson here. I was a classmate of Sue's. I remember her parents being such a handsome couple and that carried through to how they interacted with all the people they met. What a nice family. God bless all who mourn. May they feel the comfort of family and friends.

Whenever I think of Mr. Greyerbiehl, I see only his smile. It always made me feel so comfortable to be around him. I loved watching him and Maryanne as they shared their special love with each other. They were an inspiration to me. Our thoughts and prayers surround his family at this time of sorrow.
