Mark, Seren and Caitlyn:
I was saddened to read of the passing of Susan. My fond memories of her revolve around the year(s) she and the girls were at Trinity Lutheran Church and School, especially when she was an aide in my kindergarten classroom.
May God provide a degree of comfort to you and your family and surround you with His love.

I am saddened to hear of Susan's passing. My heart goes out to her family. Susan was a college roommate of mine at St Ben's. She was a kind soul. I remember her laugh. My thoughts and prayers to her family.
