My sincere condolences to Ken, Jennifer and the rest of the Buchignani Family. In a roundabout way she was a member of my family in that she is my niece's aunt. I haven't seen her in many years, but I always remember her as friendly and welcoming. Suzie will be missed, I'm sure, by all who knew her.

To The Buchignani Family -
When we lived in Healdsburg in the 70´s - My Mom - Masako (Margie) Moon and Suzie were good friend´s. We lived in the same neighborhood and Suzie would visit often. My Mom was also born in Fukuoka, they had a lot in common. I can still hear them talking and laughing.
I´m so sorry for your loss.
Rest Easy Suzie
Thank-You for those years with my Mom.

Dear Buchignani Family, Suzie and I knew each other through the years, basically through the wine industry. We would also run into each other at the bank doing banking for our employers, and always stopped to chat a little bit. Suzie was a delightful person and I always enjoyed seeing her around town. I'm so sorry for your loss. I will miss her lovely face. Linda Honeysett
