I am so sad to hear that Susan passed away. Susan was a classmate of mine at Ringsted High. We were in Luther League and played the organ at St. Paul Lutheran. We were in music things at school together and formed a folk singing group with Mark and 4 others. So many memories!
Sympathy to her family at this difficult time.
