Open letter to the Eastern Michigan University community from the family of Julia Niswender:

To the EMU community,

Words cannot adequately express our deep appreciation for the many kind and sympathetic acts that came to us at the time of our recent bereavement. We are grateful for all the support that the EMU community has shown our family. Julia was proud to be an Eagle and loved all her EMU family and friends.

Thank you for being a part of her life,

-The family of Julia Niswender
