Suzanne, I remember your infectious joy when we first met as teenagers at a Magdalen summer program, and then again later at TMC. You have been in my thoughts and prayers these past years, and the grief of losing you so soon is tempered by the comfort of knowing you are reunited in friendship with Aimee. My prayers are with your family at this time.
