Itโs taken days for words to arrive, in part because no amount or content of words will fill the void you leave and in part because perhaps it feels like a sense of finality when itโs not. You are everlasting and living on in us. I donโt remember how we met or our first interaction because I think you and your family's presence in my life is equivalent to my childhood. One cannot exist without the other. When you were in high school, I thought you were the coolest for being an outspoken Asian American involved in student government and leadership organizations. I admired that you proudly wore your Chinese name, which gave me the courage to do the same. Life was easier to have known that youโve walked the grounds before us. Your toughest moments were your law school days, and knowing that, I appreciate every outreach and every text you sent while I was in medical school. Iโll forever miss your holiday tests and random GIFs, amongst a myriad of qualities that make you the most special friend and person: infectious one-of-a-kind laughter, sharp wit and wisdom, impeccable taste in food and fashion, and deeply loving friend and sister. I think itโs suffice to say that we love because you loved us. I will forever cherish our memories and forever wish we had more of them. Love you always 💕
Sushu was such a delight to us during the years she participated in the International Student Bible Class at Grace Baptist Church in Manhattan. We marveled that she, as a high school student, interacted so well with the college students, many of them graduate students. She never met a stranger. She was very engaging and enthusiastic over learning about our Lord Jesus and growing in her faith. She was such a delight to be around. Although these words speak of her in the past tense, it remains in the present tense as well.
We were shocked and grieved to hear the news of her passing, but she is in her true home. We pray for her family that she left behind that they would find comfort in the fact that she left this land of the dying and is now in the land of the living. She is in the glorious presence of her Savior Who loved us all so much that He gave His own life to open the door to Heaven for Sushu and for all who would come to Him. We are confident that Sushu is now very much enjoying the place Jesus prepared for her and is in the process of meeting friends and making new friends there. We grieve and yet we find solace and celebrate her beautiful life.
Sushu, we love you.

Dear Ushus,
I remember as a scared kid, you were one of the first people to welcome me into the MCCF youth group. While growing up, you were one of the big sisters I always looked up to. You always challenged us to be better and were integral in shaping our worldview. Your bubbly and fun personality made every gathering so much more fun! I would like to think some of your witty sense of humor rubbed off on us too. Some of my favorite memories with you include us flipping all our names backwards at cwc summer retreat, crushing on the Jonas brothers (you were the only one who like Kevin Jonas but you were so right about him), church potlucks, serious discussions about cpop and cdramas, when you ran over every traffic cone at ikea, playing card games, and so much more. Thank you for gifting me my first KU Jayhawk shirt, introducing me to the LOR and Star Wars movies, your life advice, and for being the glue that held our youth group together. Thank you for the wonderful memories. I will always hold our memories close to my heart.

Sushu has been such a role model in living a Christ-centered life. Her love for the church, the community, and the underprivileged shine so bright. She values different opinions and holds very interesting conversations. She is funny, caring and smart. She enjoys yummy food as much as sharing them. She is always so thoughtful, polite, and on time! I remember how proud she was when she passionately showed me the pictures from family vacations. She values her family so much and always looks forward to the Sunday family meeting. We know where she is now but it is still sad to say goodbye. Her legacy will continue to live through the ones that her bright smiles touched. We love you and miss you, Sushu.
We've known Sushu for almost two years at ECBC. Her cheerful and joyful personality made her a beloved member of our church. She was a faithful servant who served on the usher team, greeting people on Sundays with her infectious enthusiasm. Though we can hardly believe she is no longer with us, we take comfort in knowing that she is now in heaven with our Lord. We are grateful for the time we had with her, and we look forward to the day when we will be reunited with her.
Dearest Sushu -- I met you in 1994 at CLCH, when I was just six years old, and you were immediately the friend I needed. We became good friends almost instantly, the kind of relational magnetism that happens only a few times in life. You were kind, funny, bubbly, genuine, trustworthy, compassionate, charismatic, and you made me feel safe. I think about all the Sunday trips to Burger King with our families, the Sunday school lessons we'd sit through together, and how much I looked forward to Friday nights because we got to hang out at the Punahou church. I don't know how I would've gotten through those early years without you. I'll miss you, I'll always remember you, and I'm so thankful to have been your friend in this lifetime.
Sushu was my best friend and Sister- In-Christ after moving to Kansas City and coming to Emanuel Chinese Baptist church. Although I have known her for only about 6 years, it felt like I have known her for a lifetime. She always had a smile on her face, and I could always hear her iconic laughter. She liked to travel and try different kinds of cuisine and would share the great photos with us. She also had a great taste of fashion. She encouraged me whenever I felt down. Sushu, I want to say thank you for all your encouragement and always being there for me! Iโll miss you and love you forever. I pray that you will be surrounded with love in heaven! May we meet again in heaven!
Sushu Wang was a remarkable volunteer and true friend to seniors. She was there to support Fountain of Life's mission from the very beginning -- volunteering to help with our Launch Party and very first Open House for seniors. She held so many volunteer roles behind the scenes that many don't even know about. Every Facebook post with Chinese translation was translated by Sushu. Every Facebook album of photos was created by Sushu. Many of our flyers with Chinese translation were also translated by Sushu. Sushu kept our website updated, arrived early for programs to help set up, and stayed late to help tear down. During senior socials, she displayed kindness and engaged with seniors who seemed more reserved. There are not many photos of Sushu volunteering because she was usually one of the volunteers behind the camera taking the photos. She even went out of her comfort zone for Fountain of Life and volunteered to help teach a digital literacy cell phone usage class even though she shared that she wasn't that comfortable with technology herself. Sushu invested her heart, time and treasures into Fountain of Life. We will always remember Sushu. We are going to miss her so very much.
I have had the tremendous pleasure of knowing and working with Sushu since 2016, across two law firms. From that period, I have discovered what a remarkable person she is. I came to know her more closely since October 2021 because of our efforts to launch the Asian employee resource group of this region of the law firm. Sushu never missed a group meeting or event. She had so much to say, and always with that bright smile. From January 2022 through July 2022, she served with me as the co-chair of the Asian employee resource group. In February 2023, in honor of Lunar New Year, she readily shared about her experiences and family in a publication that was sent to the employees of the law firm in the US and Canada. On LinkedIn, she chose to display with her profile picture the following phrase: "Justice for All." From my experiences with her over the years and our many chats, Sushu revealed herself to be a passionate champion of justice, diversity and inclusion initiatives.
When I think of Sushu, I cannot help but smile. I feel deep gratitude and lightness from having known her. Sushu has been and will forever be a gift.

Dear Sushu,
Thank you for being such a bright, shining light in our lives. I'm grateful to have worked with you and get to know you, you are so incredibly kind and generous, and left such a positive impact on everyone you met. You are truly an example of a good, human being - I'm so lucky to have known you. I will celebrate your bright spirit ❤
Dear Sushu's parents and family - she is such a testament to you all, she is an incredible person who touched everyone. Thank you for sharing your daughter and sister with us.

Sushu,
While I may not have known you as long as some; the quality of time by which was spent with you far outweighed the length. You were always uplifting and had the best spirit and enthusiasm no matter the time or place. Too soon you've gone from us all but we'll all remember the joy you brought to our lives and the impact you've made on us all. Requiescat in Pace Sushu.

Sushu was such a huge part of Clyde & Co. She brought joy to those around her. Clyde & Co is missing a huge ray of sunshine, as she brought smiles and laughter to all those who worked with her. She was always so happy and cheerful. She helped in so many ways and was truly a remarkable person. She will truly be missed and I will miss our chats.
Sushu was a bright ray of sunshine, a friendly face, and a warm welcome in any situation. More than any of this, though, she was an amazingly compassionate person who cared deeply about everyone she met. Invariably, in my own experience and certainly that of everyone else I know who knew her, Sushu invited you in and made you feel special - made you feel like you belonged. She will be sorely missed, but certainly not forgotten, by the many people whose lives she has undoubtedly made better. We would do well to follow her example.
I keep thinking about Sushu so many times throughout the day today and I am comforted as I dwell in the knowledge that she is not dead, in fact, she is more alive right now than she has ever been.
I felt sad that she left so young, never experiencing the things that are often so important to us like marriage or having children... but honestly she does not care about that at all right now, she has no regrets!!!... she is not thinking and regretting that she was young, unmarried, childless... she's not thinking about all the things she may have missed in life.
No, she is looking into the face of almighty God and into the loving eyes of Jesus and she is just being blown away, totally consumed right now with amazement and peace and joy.
With the mind of Christ she understands God's perfect plan and totally agrees that he took her home right now.
. Sushu had a life well lived and she has now traveled to another country... better than Paris ...better than Hawaii... better than anywhere on Earth!!! She is safe now, she will never feel pain or sorrow ever again and we will be with her forever someday... praising the Lord Jesus Christ in never-ending peace.
What will come from her early departure to Glory?... I tell you what will come of it, good will come of it!!!
God will use this, as he has already used her life--- to reach others!!!
We love you, dear sister, enjoy the presence and the joy of the Lord❤... thank you for all the joy you brought to us ...see you soon.❤

Sushu always made me laugh during fellowships, whether it was a funny joke or a great comeback. She always found a way to bring joy to all situations. Iโve only known her for almost three years, but it feels like itโs a lot longer. She was always warm and welcoming and a wonderful person to talk to and we all miss her. Itโs hard to believe sheโs no longer with us still, but she is now in a better place. Rest in peace, may we meet again.
I can't believe I'm even writing this right now. I feel like it can't be real because I don't even know what life is without you in it. You are integral to why I am the woman I am today. You drove me to dream big. A huge part of why I went to UCLA and PA school is because of the confidence you taught me to have in myself. From highschool STUCO to you having my back and explaining it away with the teacher when I ran out of class crying the day I lost my 4.0, and then running to comfort me afterwards. Because that's the kind of friend you are. A protective, defend you till the end kind of friend (like the time you slapped a guy in the face for me at the freshman center) you loved fiercely. You did everything fiercely and that's why you achieved your dreams while maintaining alllllllll of your relationships at such a deep and loving level.
You mean so much to me and I am afraid I took you for granted these past few years. I know you know I love you, but do you know how much? Do you know how much I need you and expected you to be my side while I went through the next big hurdles in my life? I assumed you'd always be there, an aunty for my future babies. Now my babies will never know you, and I am so sad for them.
I know if you were here, you'd say it is part of God's plan, but I'm too selfish. All I can see is that our world is shattered, and I'm never going to get to see you smile or grin again. I'm never going to get your bear hug again or hear all the juicy new gossip. I'm never going to get to talk about how travel = food with you; you loved good food, and you had excellent taste!!
I just already miss you, and I don't know how we're supposed to do this and live this way for the rest of our lives...without you.
There is so much I could say and even more that I don't even know how to put into words. But now, nothing matters except that we will forever miss you. Since you always signed our notebooks with this, LYLAS <3
Forever and always,
Your dhith

@sushisushu Iโve been thinking for so long what to write and nothing would be anywhere close to reflecting how amazing you are.
I remember the very first fellowship you came to after landing a job in KC. I was crying my eyes out over being let go from my first job. No one knew what to do but you were the first person to ask if I wanted a hug. What was even more of a miracle, you werenโt a physical touch kind of person and for you to show that type of compassion shows how selfless you are. Whenever the time came, you knew how to step up. You have always been there for me and I will always miss that ridiculous loud laughter of yours. Wish I could get one last hug from you but I know that you are the one whoโs the most fortunate. You get to have no more pain, no more tears, the perfect skin, and the best view to make fun of us! You are at perfect peace, in the best place of worship, and have an eternity with our Father in Heaven. I look forward to the day we see each other again.
Love you and miss you dearly ❤️

"Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him." 1 Thessalonians 4:13โญ-โฌ14 NIV
Sushu Wang, you've always been such a faithful member of the church and a good friend. I'll never forget you coming to those mid-week prayer meetings at ECBC week after week, and hosting Jackie when she came to visit this winter and playing DOS together.
Until we meet again in paradise, and get perfect bodies in new heaven and earth...
