It is with much sadness I have just learned of Susie's passing. What a beautiful soul. Susie and I along with a couple others supported each other over wine after classes at City U. I have long since moved to Australia and have kept in touch through FB. We have always talked about getting together when Iwas in the US but it never happened. Such a loss. My condolences to her family. She was a shooting star that will never dim. What a special lady.

I knew Suzie as a wonderful parent to her sweet daughter Kate. Kate my daughter and many others became lasting friends beginning at South Bay Elementary. Suzie was one of those moms that not only loved her child but our children as well. Forever smiling upbeat and fun loving such a beautiful person inside and out. You left a n incredible mark on so many. May you rest in peace.

I´m out of the country right now and am saddened beyond words to read of Sweet Sus´s passing (what I called her). We met years ago as waitresses at the Tyee. (Those old enough will remember this lounge). She was the only one who looked good in the togo uniforms the new Vance Corp ordered us to wear. (Remember Tom?) My connection to her was immediate - we had the same college degree and I watched, smiling, as her and Tom´s love blossomed. I remained a friend to her and Tom - lots of stories I...

I was only granted time with "Sooz" for a short time, but she will leave an everlasting profound memory marked with beauty, strength and perseverance.

I was fortunate to have known Susie her entire life. She is my cousin and although we lived in different states, we had a very close bond. When we did get together, it was like no time had passed. We loved to bicycle, hike and play with dogs. Susie was beautiful both inside and out, she was one of the most loving and compassionate people I know. Susie was funny and could always make all of us laugh. She adored her husband, children, grandchildren and of course her dogs. She gave the best...

Susie was an angel on earth. She was so beautiful inside and out, and so full of grace. I was blessed to call her my friend.

I was so saddened to learn of Susie´s passing. I first saw Susie cheering at an Olympia High School basketball game. I was attending as an 8th grader with my girlfriend who had a brother that was a yell king. I spotted Susie as she stood out. So pretty and full of energy. Much to my surprise our paths would cross again as we worked side by side at Nordstrom Place Two. I recognized her immediately from my memory of her cheering. We became fast friends and then years later, again our paths...

One of the most vibrant, loving, caring, and empathetic humans I have known. We were all so lucky to have even experienced a touch of GiGis aura during our lives. I love seeing so much of that caring and empathy in Luna. We all carry a piece of that GiGi spirit with us. This house mourns and grieves for the loss, and also know that GiGi would want us to raise a glass of Chardonnay and party on in her name. Luna and I love you, the McPikes, and the Breslins so much.

To know Susie was to love her. She brightened every room she walked into. There is a huge hole in my heart, but I'm going to hang onto all of the wonderful memories I shared with her. You were one of a kind my sweet friend. I'm so glad you are dancing again. Love you forever and always.
