We will all miss Sue. She was a very special person to all of us. It's hard to express all the thoughts and memories I have of Sue. I met Sue while attending Rainier Beach High School. Her husband Tom and I have been friends since attending Emerson Grade School. I was the best man at their wedding in 1967. It's been a long and wonderful time being friends with Sue and her family. My love and support will always be here for you.

So saddened to hear of Suzanne's passing. Attending Rainier Beach with her, I knew her as a sweet spirit, engaging her classmates with kindness and acceptance. She will be truly missed by all of us who called her a friend..as well as wife, mom and grandmother. Deepest sympathies. Suzanne (moser) Jackson
