Dennis and I will miss her smile, sense of humor, and willingness to always help with special needs adults as well as checking in our kids church! We are sorry we won’t be in town for the memorial

September 17, 2021 at 1:10 pmSusan was a dear friend. When I moved to Lansing in 2004 she & Donna befriended me when I started attending Meridian Christian Church and I have been blessed to have her as a really good friend since then. We have made a number of road trips together, prayed together every week for several years, shared many meals, cried and laughed together. I know she will leave a void in the lives of those that knew her well and loved her. Thanking God for the blessing of having known her and praying for comfort and peace for all whose lives will be affected by her absence.

September 18, 2021 at 9:42 amAs already mentioned, Susan’s life was exemplified by serving others. God gifted her with insight and wisdom to ease others’ difficulties, and the ability to humbly serve in areas that some would shy away from. Many times I was impressed with her selflessness. I will miss her humor, practical advice, and friendship.

September 23, 2021 at 2:59 pmSusan’s heart was so big it overflowed in service to everyone she met. I always looked for her smile at the children’s desk – first at Meridian and then 2|42 Church. She touched so many lives and was a blessing to everyone. Be wrapped in the love of the Lord, my friend. You are missed.
