I was so sad to hear about Susan! I went to school with her and Wendy in Odessa, Mo. We just had our 35th class reunion. I always looked for Susan and Wendy at our previous reunions, but we never crossed paths! I always thought Susan would probably end up teaching. I remembered she always had a smile on her face! May God Bless you and be with you during this time!

Susan always had a sweet smile on her face each day. We taught five years together at Wilbur. Some mornings she would stop at the Quick Trip and bring me a roll and coffee to start my day. I pray that God will give you strength and peace for the days ahead. Focus on your memories because they will sustain you.

Powell family: My deepest condolences go out to your sweet family at this time. She loved you more than words could say! Of all the things I remember from teaching with her over many years, I most recall the pride and love in her voice when she spoke of you. Praying for the love of Christ to comfort you in your journey of grief and celebration!

Susan, You were such a good friend and listener all the years my boys were at NW. I deeply regret not staying in touch and that we never got to visit away from NW. You will be missed by everyone whose life you have touched. God bless your family and may he give them comfort in the days ahead.
