My heart aching! I did not know Suzanne passed away! We worked for Ward Real Estate together for 10 years! I loved Suzanne! She was a great person! She took good care of her mother when she was sick and took care of everyone in out office too! I was at her wedding probably in 1998 or so and was so happy for her!

Suzanne was my neighbor on Woodlea Avenue. She had the prettiest garden in the neighborhood. Each year her creative spirit brought flowers of beautiful colors mixed with green flowing grasses and shrubs. My thoughts and prayers are with Suze and her family. God's blessings be with all of you.
