Thank you WoodyZ for that suggestion. I did not know about .vmss files. There were no .lck folders/files since Fusion was not running. I deleted the .vmss file, then started the VM. It started up from scratch, not like it was being un-suspended. BUT, when I powered it down from within the VM, it went right back to suspend state. I started and powered it down again but no change. When I quit Fusion, I noticed the .vmss file is still gone. Here are the files in the VM's directory now, if it's any help:
