Offer Condolence for the family of Frances I. “Susie” Vielhauer



Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Laura.
I will miss your mothers smiling face. You are all in my prayers.
Rita and I wish to take this opportunity to express our condolences on the passing of Mrs. Vielhauer. The younger “Susie” Vielhauer is our niece. For nine months we begin “life” in the water of our mother’s womb. Bursting forth we begin “life” breathing air. As we pass through death’s womb we begin “life” anew. The first two phases of “life” are fact. The third phase of life is the promise of our faith. May your faith, friends and family bring you peace and comfort.
Jeff and Susie, and Family,
I did not ever get the pleasure of meeting your grandmother, but
heard many nice things about her and know that the family is
going to miss her a lot.
May God be with the family during the greiving time that we all
experience when losing a loved one.
Aunt Ann

Laura – I’m so very sorry to hear of the recent loss of your dear mother. You an your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Cherish your memories.
Our prayers go out to the entire Vielhauer family. We know all of you well but Joe and Michael especially are part of “our own Cook family.” Michael was born on the same day as Pete and Susie’s wedding anniversary—August 17th.. May God keep you close together during this sad time. Jeff spent many hours hanging out with Joe in Susie’s house, I think she fed him a few meals every once in a while too!!!! She will be missed by everyone who knew her well.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you this day. I worked with your Mom for about 12 years at Ted Corporation and just thought I`d share some of my memories of Susie. She was such a hoot to work with, we had so much fun. She always told me”it`s hell to be short” as I`m pretty tall and could reach things for her. She always had a smile on her face and she told me she was my 2nd Mom. I have many of the scrubbies and towels she always made for Christmas. And many, many great memories of your Mom. She was very special and I will miss her alot!
Gracie, I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. We were out of town or I would have been there. Our deepest sympathy!

I’ll always remember our folks playing cards on Saturday nights. They sure knew how to have fun! They are missed so much…
My prayers and thoughts are with your family .

Very fond memories of the entire Vielhauer family when we were kids. My Mom, Mary Haas Henke, was a neighbor of Pete’s when they were little growing up in Shawnee. Pinochle card parties with all of our relatives usually included the Vielhauer family. We always enjoyed going to their house because they had a big family and sometimes we would get to tag along with the older kids to the Pizza Shoppe while our parents played cards. Fun times! We will miss Pete & Susie…
Joe, I am sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Sending prayers of comfort and a healing heart. Tim
