My sincere condolences to the family of Susan. It was so nice to have her as a part of our Scioto Valley Chorus, and I have missed her. I know you must have many happy memories to bring you joy and comfort. My son and his family live in Fairlawn, and I think of her, especially when we have traveled there, and will keep her and you in my thoughts.
