Mr. Shular,
I was stunned and saddened to read of Susan's untimely death in the paper. What a bright, bubbly person she was. She was a high school friend to me and most recently saw her a number of times at the ORHS '66 Ladies Luncheons. I and my husband attended your wedding and I heard from Susan what a good husband you were. God Bless You as you go forward in your faith. Praying that you will be comforted by beautiful memories.

I went to Elm Grove through Oak Ridge High School with Susan Summers Shular. Recently we reconnected through some ORHS monthly luncheons and reunion. She always had a smile and was so upbeat. She will be missed. Prayers for her family
