My heart goes out to the Family of Steve Ball. I was not aware untill recently of the tragic loss of his sister Suzanne. From what I've learned, she was an amazing woman and touched the lives of everyone she met.
Peace and Love to all,

the first time I met Suzy I went to a party with her in 1984 . there was a keg of beer in the garage and a bicycle hanging from the rafters....needless to say, Suzy saw that bike as an opportunity. She was hoisted up and pedaled that bike upside down! From that moment I knew I wanted to be around that girl. As well as always being entertaining she was an amazing fun mother and has raised Kristen and Haley to be amazing strong women. I know my son Matt was there to meet her in Heaven and the two of them are on the Greatest Adventure. God bless all of her family and friends who loved her so much.......

Oh, the many wonderful funny and hilarious memories I have of Suzy and our cheerleading days! From sleepovers to all the games we travelled to on our own. Those were the days my dear wonderful, sweet and happy friend!She was helpful and caring when I needed help and I can only hope I was 1/2 the friend she was to me! She is and always will be amazing to me. My deepest and honest condolences to the entire Ball Family. Bev Bumb Peterson

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the daughters and family of Suzy. Although it has been years since I last saw Suzy at I.U., when I heard of this tragedy I immediately thought of her beautiful smile and her bouncing out of the AX house in her cheerleader outfit. May your memories comfort you in this time of sorrow. AX Sisters forever, Maralee

Suzy...Happy, Energetic, Kind, Passive. The Suzy we knew would have recovered from a careless slip by ending with a double-twist back flip into the splits, and still scored a perfect "10". Our condolences go out to the Ball family. Big hugs....Sarah Montgomery (cheerleader/Freshman yr., N.C. class 1976), and Joanie Hobbs (N.C. class 1976)

Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch" I will miss her!

Suzy will be greatly missed. Yes her laugh and smile but gosh could she manufacture a good time in any group of people, whether she knew them or not. I loved that about her. I will never forget when she had to give the finance report at Xerox meetings, even this dry information
Suzy could make funny.
We never can fully understand what life brings at a particular moment in time let alone why. We must rest in the arms of our God as he is the only one that can bring you comfort at any time. My prayers are with you all during this time of Great Loss.
