Not sure what to say?

I am late but I have arrived. Think of the impact. Years have passed but I remember her and she still speaks to me. I love her. She still lives in me. Thank you!

What a bright light she and Jeff were during our teenage years and introduction to community theatre. We loved them dearly, and I am so grateful that Neill Clark and I were able to visit last September 2008.
Suzie was a force of life who infused that energy and belief into so many of us, and we are so grateful..

Dear Jeff,

I found out about Suzanne a week after she died. I so sorry. I know she will be greatly missed. I still remember "THE Boyfriend" in which I had the lead, and the beautiful costumes she made for me. God bless you and help you through this time of sorrow. Love, Dot Pickett Ramsour

Mr. Jeffers and family, I am so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful lady.

Dear Mr. Jeffers and family,
I am very saddened to hear of your loss and wanted to extend my heartfelt sympathy. Years ago, as a new and very inexperienced actress at HCT, I will never forget a particular evening -- after watching my rehearsal in the Fireman's Kitchen, Mrs. Jeffers made a point of complimenting my performance, which meant the world to me, especially then. I will always remember her extraordinary grace. May you also find peace in her memory.

How sad it was to receive a call from my niece in Hickory telling me about Suzie's passing. She was One of A Kind! We were in Hickory High together and were in the same little "group". She always entertained us at slumber parties after her families trips to New York. She knew all the songs and plays. We have been in contact over the years and she has always been special to me. My prayers are with you, Jeff and all the family.

With sadness, I recall the warm memories of how Suzie, your family and the Kramers “took us in” when we moved to Hickory in 1970. I loved her smile, enthusiasm and ability to make others feel happy. We’re sorry for your loss.
Love,
Pat and Michael Bellar

It was a very special privilege to know Suzie. She was a wonderful, joyful person who inspired this amateur to renew his interest in Shakespeare and to tease her regularly about whether Edward DeVere might perhaps have been the real Shakespeare--just for the sheer pleasure of watching her good hearted "outrage" at the very suggestion. How delighted must those who have gone before us be to have her in their midst. Her family is in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

We are so sorry for your tremendous loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your wonderful family at this time. She was such a treasure! Lovingly from Jack and Charlene Williams and daughter, Janet
