Another Bright Star is lighting up the night skies. You taught the gift of unconditional love to all of us. You showed us you believed in your heart that you are meant to live a life full of passion, purpose, magic and miracles. There was magic in Suzies touch, and sunshine in her smile. There was love in everything she did, to make our lives worthwhile. We could find both love and courage just by looking in her violet eyes. Her laughter was infectious and a source of joy, as her words were warm and wise. There was kindness and compassion to be found in her embrace, and we see the light of Heaven shining from her face. Love you to the Moon and Back.
