If I had to sum Sue up, it would be “life of the party”. She lit up every room with her warmth, words of wisdom, and laughter. Very thankful for all of my memories with her. We will all miss her dearly and remember her forever. My deepest condolences.

During the brief period that we worked together at Digital, Suzanne was a loving and supportive friend at a time when I was trying to sort out who I was and where I was going in life. With her warm smile and playful humor, she reassured me I'd figure it out. And I did. Deepest sympathy to Paul and family for her untimely passing.
