I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Suzi for 8 years. We laughed, cried, and crabbed together many times. I am completely in shock. May you rest in peace, my friend. You will be truly missed by many, including me. May you spread your wings and fly. You can now be with John again.
I am so very sorry
Sending my love and prayers.

Very sad to hear of Suzi’s passing. We were very good friends back in the days – bowling and thru high school. I remember her on the Pom Pom squad!!! Suzi is another beautiful soul that was called home way too soon….deepest sympathy to all the family. May God give you strength and bring you peace in this difficult time. Prayers
