Suzie was a wonderful lady! She was blessed with so many fruits of the spirit. I recall Suzie always being friendly, helpful and thoughtful. Suzie, frequently asked how our families were doing, even my father before his death in 2010 in Texas. Suzie was genuine and salt of the earth. Suzie was right there with Al, to support my wife, through the loss of her Mom and Dad, and a painful divorce. We are as close as a family could be. Al, you were a wonderful caring husband to Suzie, and girls you were wonderful daughters to her. May you all hold tight to the memories you’ve made, and know you all were there for her when she needed you most. That is the greatest blessing anyone could ever hope for.
God bless,
