I just read the Obituaries in the Seattle Times -- I was stunned. Suzanne was a client of mine for many years, I looked forward to her visits as she always had stories for us to ponder over, we would laugh, and we would also talk about "women things".
I know she loved her children very much. She would always mention them and tell me how proud she was of them. She loved animals, as I do, so we would have many conversations about her goats, and dogs, cats, and her bunnies. She loved gardening, as I do also, so we also talked about plants and flowers. She would tell me about her ventures on the bike with her husband Gene, and how she loved to dance. I will miss her, I am so sad, she was too young to go.
