Dear Rick and family,

My sincere sympathy to you and your family, Suzie was a super person. We met when I first arrived at CPCC, her lively personality and great disposition was a warm welcome as a new comer to CPCC. We continued our relationship as I frequently visited HR with material for new instructors. She always greeted me with such a warm reception and a smile. She was by far an asset to the college and a wonderful colleague. I will truly miss her and feel blessed to have met her. She was an astonishing person.

Rick,

Cannot begin to tell you how shocked I was this morning to hear of Suzie's transition.

Both of you told me your love story and I remember the sparkle in your eyes as you spoke of your lovely wife the first time I met you.

Happily I got to meet Suzie shortly thereafter and I so enjoyed her wit, her sense of humor and her

zest. We laughed together at the silliest "on the job" predicaments and situations. I looked forward to seeing her again.

Please know that my prayers for comfort are with you.....she is at peace. I know that you will always treasure your special bond of love and happiness together which is yours forever and surely comforted her.
