Not sure what to say?

Queen Suz, I never met you, but for some divine reason I feel like I know you? I know you're flying high while you continue to watch over your son's. Just like the loving mama you are. Love and Light Queen

Though I never knew you, I loved you like a mother through your son, and I hope that you are in peace, brings me tears every time I read this, you were an amazing mother.

I knew Suzie in high school, and was always drawn to her beautiful spirit. So sorry for her family's loss.

Hi Suzie, I remember sewing bathing suits and wood working class with you at Cubberley and then running into you at an ice cream store in Berkeley. Rest in peace and comfort. Lisa Christensen

sorry i wasnt able to be there for you, rest in peace your an angel now hugs.

I'm drawn to her for some reason so I looked her up and she came across my ancestry.... what a beautiful soul and a talented artist as well! She's in a beautiful place now. Rest easy knowing she's with the moon and the stars
