Aunt Suzy, I always enjoyed our chats and giggles. When I moved away, you were always just a phone call away. Now all I have to do is close my eyes and know you are there. Love you always!

To say that Suzy was a seamstress is to say that Michael Angelo was an artist. During a visit here she made a complete fleece top and bottom for me in about 2 hours. Barb and I were amazed. She was a wonderful mother in law, mother to my wife, and grandmother to my daughters. I will miss her.
