Murphy & Wendy:
The passing of a parent is hard to accept. God knows what is best for us and even though it is hard, Trust in him he will guide you through the storm. Faith and Trust in God will in the end bring you peace and hope for the future. Lean on him giving him all your cares, he will see you through.
Read Isaiah 40:31 "They that trust in the Lord..." my favorite verse because he will be there for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you...love to see you again.

Even though Suzette was a year ahead of me at school we still were really good friends. Then we graduated and lost touch but Suzette after her courageous battle now has no worries nor pain because she has been touched by our Heavenly Father when He called her home. May God give you peace and blessings.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of my dear classmate Suzette . We met in High school and gradurated from Dublin High School in one the largest classes ever. Suzette was at the top of the class gradurating with many honors. The thing that i recall most about Suzette was her humor and determination. She was always the one to encourage you to go forward with what ever plan you had in mind.
It could have been a big decision or just a practical joke that you were going to play. I used to stay with one of my friends in fairlawn on the week-end and we would all meet up and have a great time. I remember they did like to TP houses in those days....i remember foot ball games and how she was in the band. I remember power puff foot ball and home comings floats..What ever there was going on she was right there leading the way. Even though life journey has taken us down different roads I am glad that i can say Suzette was my friend...and even though her journey was so short here on earth she empacked many peoples life... she made a difference. May God bless and keep you in the days to come.

I'm so sorry to hear about Suzette. I went to school at Dublin High with her. She was a joy then always smiling and never knew a stranger.

Suzette and I grew up together. She was a year older than me and I always looked up to her. I loved her outgoing personality and how smart she was. And I can still see her twirling the flag-core flags and leading the band.
During our teen years we were prone to having a little too much fun and one night we had the burning need to TP a house. Afraid to get in trouble, we took the safe route and TP'd our own houses. What a laugh we had over this. That was my Suzette - playful and laughing.
Remembering her joy and wishing her family peace and comfort.
