I am so sorry to hear about Suzanne's passing. Although we were only classmates, she is one of the few from Fremd who I remember. She had such a wonderful strong presence with her sequined Iggy Pop jean jacket or wearing a choir robe as her attire. It was always an interesting class with Suzanne in it! She is certainly making her current dimension more dynamic in every which way!

Suzanne was more than just a co-worker of my mom's, Jyothi, she was a friend who became part of our family. Each visit was always surprised. From the time she came home to teach my sister and I how to bake her Christmas cookies and we tried to make her famous English Toffee. To the days when she would come by to have some of her favorite Indian foods and spend time just catching up. She would walk into the house say "hello" to Ganesha, grab a plate full of food saying "there's no restaurant that has food like yours Jyothi!" Suzanne was full of life, and was truly one of a kind. She always had an exciting story to tell. Even when I was leaving to study abroad she made it a point to make sure I knew the ins and outs of what to expect during my time in London and Paris. Thank you will never be enough for the care and love she has shown my family and I, and she will be missed. Where ever she is I hope she is at peace and enjoying her coffee.

With Love,
Jyothi, Srinivas, Pooja & Punya Krishnappa

I worked with Suzanne at Fields for about 3 years. She was a veteran retail person. I was Christmas help, initially. She was very helpful to me. I could make her laugh. I liked her very much. May she rest in peace.
