We had alot of good times from sewing things to our clothes in Brownies, waking the whole bus up in the middle of the night going to Austin, to sight seening and making sopillas. Susan you were a great friend who never let anyone down. I really miss you and I hope your at peace.

Dear Clemmer Family,
The other day my kids asked me who my best friend in school was. After thinking for a minute, I said "Susan." We had a lot of fun together and many of my childhood memories are of her and your family. You extended so much kindness to me and from your example, I learned what kind of family life I wanted for myself when I grew up. Susan and our group of friends shared many laughs and good times. I am so sorry for your loss and pain.

Mr. & Mrs. Clemmer -
I knew Susan from girl scouts and coronado. She was an amazing person. My husband and I had dinner with her a few years back when we were on a trip to California. I can't believe she is gone. I hope your family can find some peace. God Bless - Tracy (Lyon) Gillett

Dear Clemmer Family,
It is difficult to find the right words to express my thoughts and feelings. I can say that Susan was like a ray of sunshine for our CSUN swim team. She could always be found poolside or at the end of the lane cheering on her teammates. She was respected and well-liked by all. It was so good to see her at her 40th birthday party and all that she had accomplished. She will be missed.

My prayers are with your family.
Sincerely,

Alan Richey

Mr. and Mrs. Clemmer and Jim, I can't express how shocked and saddened I am to hear about Susan. She and I had just recently re-connected on Facebook and I was looking forward to get to know her again after all of these years! She was a very accomplished young lady and will be missed dearly by so many people. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and if there is anything I or my family can do for you during this difficult time please don't hesitate to contact us. Buck Richey

To the Clemmer family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this most difficult time. My daughter, Lisa, had the pleasure of being one of Susan's best friends in El Paso at Coronado. I think, if my memory serves me right, that after sleepovers, I would fix chocolate chip pancakes for them. Lisa told me she had reconnected with Susan at their 20th high school reunion a few years ago. I'm just glad they were able to get together and share memories. The picture of Susan and her big smile brought back many memories for me. May God help you through this difficult time.

I also went to Coronado with Susan and had reunited with her recently at our 20th high school reunion. We had a great time catching up. We had kept in touch since then but not as much as I would have liked. She was a wonderful person and will be missed. I am very saddened to have lost such a dear friend, and that I will not have the chance to maintain the friendship that we had recently re-established.

Dearest Duane, Carolyn & Jim,
As I write this message the funeral is in process. I wish I could be with you at this time to give you the love and caring you gave me when my husband died.
I don't think there are words to tell you how sorry and shocked about Susan's death. She was a lovely woman.I know you are proud of who she was and what she accomplished in her all to short lifetime. This pride is truly justified.
Please know you are in my prayers and the prayers of many others here in Sacramento.
With sincere love,
Janie

To the Clemmer Family,

I went to school with Susan at Coronado. I was so shocked to hear last week about what had happened. I am so terribly sorry. I have not seen her or talked to her in many years, but how I wish I had.

My deepest condolences to your family. She will never be forgotten.

To the Clemmer Family,

I am a neighbor or Susan. I didn't know her very well. We exchanged an occasional wave hello or goodbye or a friendly little conversation. My lasting memories of my neighbor will be of her taking care of her beautiful yard and garden. She took great pride in it and it should.
My heart goes out to you as you search for answers. I'm hopeful that her image and wonderful memories engulf you mind and eases your pain.
I feel so deeply saddend that I didn't take the time or effort to get to know Susan. As a neighbor I should have.
I am so sorry. She was a very accomplished woman who made a difference in this world.
God Bless You All!

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Susan Clemmer who made the ultimate sacrifice every day protecting the public by maintaining law and order in her community, city, and every part of the country where she traveled. As a law-abiding citizen, a Vietnam veteran, and a law-enforcement officer with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, I salute Susan for her courage, devotion to duty, and public service. To quote John Walsh from American Most Wanted, "... it is not how they died that makes them heroes, it is how they lived." God bless Susan Clemmer.
