Dear Susie's family, I will be out of town the day of Susie's funeral and will not be able to attend. We were neighbors on High Street for many years , and I was able to visit her at Prairie Ridge. She was always helping other residents which will not surprise anyone who knew Susie. I send my condolences and will be making a donation to St. Mary's School in Susie's name. Sincerely, Jane

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My grade school friend and neighbor, Ken, and high school friends Ken and Susie Tighe were lifelong friends of ours. They were a power couple and made an impact with their activities in Mayville. They were loved by many and will be missed. Our sincerest sympathies are with the family at this sad time.

Sending deep condolences to Sue's family during this difficult time.

Your mom was the most compassionate woman to my dad, Art Falk. He looked forward to her visit, praying with him and giving him communion at his house. My sympathy to the Tighe family at this time. Hold tight to the many memories that you have with your mom and dad.
