Dear Kless/Nishimura family, I am so sorry for your loss. I am feeling the sorrow in knowing Susan is not here any more to brighten our lives! I have so many fond memories of our times together from Fairmont, Bowling Green and even after graduation! Trips together visiting college friends attending their weddings then eventually sharing baby stories are memories I will cherish! Even though distance separated us, when ever Susan came "home" to Kettering it seemed as if no time had passed at all as the laughter continued! I loved her dearly and will miss her tremendously I know she is at peace which is a comfort. I am praying for peace and comfort for you all as you go through this stressful time. May God be with you and cover you with His peace, Marcia Lawrence
