I am sorry I am just now sending this. I was so sad to hear of Suzy´s passing. I was a childhood friend of hers. Laying out by her pool was a fun pastime. We were in touch when I lived in Atlanta many moons ago but lost touch when I moved back to tampa. Suzy was such a sweet soul and I am sorry we weren´t better at staying in touch. Praying for peace for her 3 children, Ted and any other family members. RIP sweet friend. Teri

Mitchell, Jennifer and Rebecca, so sorry to hear about your mom. Although I had not seen her since you moved out of Summerford, I will always remember her as a kind and funny person who was totally devoted to her children. I wish you find peace in having such an amazing mom. Emily Brunone from Summerford.
