I am so sorry for the loss of Suzanne. I too was her class mate at Cony High School. She was a thoughtful and kind person. I will miss seeing her at our future reunions. I cherish the memory of out last reunion where she talked with me ahead of the event to be sure I had a vegetarian option that I would enjoy at the event. We also enjoyed dancing together a couple of times later in the evening. Rest in Peace Suzanne.
