Suzie was an amazing woman--so full of life and love! She was very kind to me while we worked together at CW and I was lucky enough to spend a few hours with her at her house in Bena as well. She will always hold a very special place in my heart and is deeply missed.

Suzie was such a dear- I am sorry for your loss. I also had the privilege to work with Suzie at Colonial Williamsburg. She was so warm and loving to everyone around. She became a surrogate "mama" to me because my own parents lived so far away. I visited her at her family home in Gloucester on the river. She even graciously hosted my going-away party there for me and my colleagues when I was moving to Pennsylvania. I will always remember her warmth and enormous love.

Your Mother was "ONE OF A KIND!" I worked with her at Colonial Williamsburg for many years and we had grand conversations in the Break Room at the Palace. Her favorite topic was "you children" and "her grandchildren!" And, so I am certain that she is braggin' to the angels today about ALL of you!!! She was so much fun and working with her was always a pleasure. Please know that I am keeping all of you in my thoughts at this difficult time! Holly Yohe, Williamsburg, Virginia
