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.
