Dear Barb, Gerry, Jay, Sheilagh, Doug and Carla:
I am so grateful for being able to visit with Suzanne at ARCH. It meant a lot to let her know how much her friendship has meant to me over the years. I will forever cherish my memories and the gorgeous blanket she knit for our wedding. Thank you for letting me be a little part of her last weeks---it meant so much.
I am sorry I won't be able to make her celebration as I will be out of town, but I will be there in spirit. Take care of one another.

What a wonderful person dear Suzanne was. I knew her first as a student at Sault College and later as an exercise buddy at the Nautilus Club. There were six of us who chummed together there and have continued to do so for many years since. Going to the Stratford Festival every year was one of our outings and, of course, we met for other occasions throughout the year. Suzanne was always the life of the party and such a dear, dear friend. You will truly be missed. Much love to you Barb. and Gerry; Jay and Sheila; Doug. and Carla. Big hugs, XXOO Marg. Simpson

Dear Barb, Gerry and Family - Watching curling here in Portugal, we drank a toast and personally dedicated that gold medal to Suzanne. Will miss her cheerful emails and positive outlook. Hers was a life well lived in spite of her health issues. So happy for the chance of that last visit in January. Please know our thoughts are with all of you and I will call when we get back in April.
Love,
