Dear family members of our dear Suzanne: it is with great sadness that I have heard thru Janet Algers and Joe Faraone (former American Express employees) that Suzanne finally had to give in with the battle against cancer - she was so brave in all these years. I am also a former American Express Tour Manager and I met with Suzanne on various occasions, above all when she came to Europe with the socalled 'Mozart tours'. Her love for classical music as well as her love for Mozart and the city of Salzburg will not be forgotten. We will miss her!

Suzanne and I have been friends since childhood. We have shared so many memories, conversations, and good times. She was a wonderful listener and always had some words of wisdom. I have never met anyone so strong, brave, and fun loving even though she didn't feel well. She was one of my best friends and I will miss her immensely. Jan Meyer Wunderlich

Always in my heart and in my prayers - I have always held fondly the memories of the good times we once had together – a concert, a drive to NO, or just hours of backgammon by a fireplace. Rest well, Suzanne.

Suzanne was a friend for over 30 years. We took several trips together and went to Warm Springs on many occasions as we shared a bond through polio. She always had a positive attitude. I talked to her a week before her passing and she was still planning for the future. She was always fun to be around. I was sorry I couldn't go to New Orleans for her service. I know she is in a better place and suffering no more but I will miss her. I know I have another angel in heaven to guide me.

Suzanne really knew how to plan a special interest tour. I accompanied her 4 times to Salzburg, Austria for the AMEX Mozart Festival Tour. Suzanne taught me how to travel old Europe and how to appreciate music. A favorite pix in my living room shows Suzanne toasting a glass of wine in St. Peter's Keller. My brother and I were just there in Sept. and we thought of you. Cheers & Farewell, Suzanne! Wishing you lots of Mozart in heaven.

I am sincerely sorry my daughter and I cannot attend the service tomorrow. Patty was a class mate of Judy, and my wife and I chaperoned her class to Mexico. It seems so long ago. I had a deep concern for you, Menson and Paul as your family ophthalmologist. ALbert Habeeb

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the famly. I worked with Suzanne many years ago. Suzanne was so warm and charming and smart. We traveled together to Europe on two occasions and had a wonderful time. I am sorry I did not stay in touch, but she was in my thoughts many times and will always have a special place there.

I am so sorry for your family's loss. I worked with Suzanne at American Express, and we were also neighbors at Weatherstone. She was smart and dedicated, and she was funny and sweet. We were good friends, and I'm sorry I lost touch with her after I moved from Atlanta. My Deepest Sympathy.

We worked with Suzanne at American Express. Many wonderful memories, trips to Salzburg to enjoy the Mozart Festivals, Europe Fams...she always had a smile on her face and displayed such passion for travel. Our hearts break for you, her family.

We are so very sad to hear of Suzanne's passing. Some people make the world a better place just by being in it - she was one of them. We will always remember her smile and her laugh. With deepest sympathy.
