My deepest sympathies to Suzanne´s family.
Suzanne was so special to me and to our family. She was so friendly and had so much energy or spunk! My family was blessed to know her and to be the recipient of her random acts of kindness. She would often drop off a 5lb box of animal crackers, a large box of peppermint patties or a crate of clementines. She was also great about sending us cards and newspaper articles she had clipped out that she underlined. My son, Tim, played in her yard for hours with her grandson, Ben, all through elementary school and have remained friends. My daughters Laura & Emily, always knew they were welcome to stop by her house on the way home from Stoneleigh school for a snack.
Suzanne loved God and she loved others. She was an amazing steward of all that God gave her. Even in her death, she donated her body to science to help find cures for others. May her beautiful legacy of love continue on for generations.
