I will truly miss Mrs. Pretzel. She was like a second mother to me when Heidi and I were growing up. She was one of the most vivacious and creative people I've ever known. The world has lost a very bright light.

Suzanne will be greatly missed by so many who loved her. I am one who will miss her zest for life and sense of humor. My husband and I will be out of town when the memorial service is held. Love to the family.
