I wish to express my sincere condolences to you upon Suzanne's death. I met Suzanne in the 8th grade at Stockton High. She was one of my favorite classmates because she always had a beautiful smile and a kind word. We graduated from the 12th grade at Stockton College and didn't meet again until many years later when we were both working in the County Courthouse. She still had the beautiful smile and kind manner. I regret illness claimed her life. We will miss her at our 50th Class Reunion in June.

Suzanne was a truly wonderful woman. She cared deeply about her family and friends. I feel honored to have been her friend and co-worker. I truly loved her, and wished I had kept in touch with her, after we moved.

Our sincere sympathy goes out to Suzanne's Children. We were in disbelief to find that she had passed away. I, Marie, always was happy to talk and visit with each other on the rare occasions we would meet. She was a wonderful lady--very good hearted & great to talk to. I am saddened that I won't have one last time to visit with her. We are open to visiting with her children at anytime. Peace and Sympathy be to them. It grieves us that we will not be able to attend the services, because of an unforseen commitment that cannot be changed. With Love, Bob & Marie Peterson

I was sorry to hear of Suzanne's passing. I knew Suzanne from the Courts, and while we never worked directly with each other, I can say that she left a lasting impression on me for her sweetness & kindness. My deepest sympathy to her family and close friends. Her passing is a true loss.

Suzanne will be deeply missed by the Wednesday morning prayer group at Lincoln Presbyterian Church.
She offered countless loving, heartfelt prayers for so many individuals and situations. She displayed the heart of God in her life. I am confident that she is safe in the hands of our Lord and pray for the peace of all of her family and friends. It was an honor to have known her.
