Oh my dear Susie, this is indeed sad news. I wish I could have seen you one more time…..it has been so long and now you are gone. I do have memories to treasure. All of our rowdy high school days and hangin’ out at PAG, the time I dragged you to the concert of then unknown singer Jimmy Buffett and we ended up partying all night with him and his one man band. Oh the stories we could tell. Our house in Belle Vista, tracking down the luv of your life….. partying in front of your parents house in that big ole tanker car of mine “the Biscayne”, taking that car out on Terre Verde and driving it through the sand dunes until we rusted through the floorboards. I hope you are laughing right now because you sure knew how to make me laugh. Travel in peace my dear friend, till I see you again.
Eddie, Billy, Nicole I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and love are with you and even though I cannot be there in person, I am wrapping my arms around you. May love and warm memories cradle your heart .

Had to chuckle at the entry Sue Lamb wrote because Susie Esso introduced me to Jeff in 1984! What a matchmaker you were, Susie! LOL. Lots of good memories of the ole ST PETE BEACH gang! Remember those Brittish sailors we brought home to your mom's for Christmas dinner? good times, girl! Love you...and always miss you. Dani Sherman, aka DeeDee Houghton

I loved my buddy susie esso, we had some wonderful days together that I will never forget, ever. Yes we drifted apart, but the memories will ALWAYS remain. Suz started my relationship with the father of my three children, by handing me the phone in her mothers kitchen saying someone wants to talk to you, starting a relationship 9/28/1968, and ending some 39 years later..... THANK YOU SUZ FOR THAT PHONE CALL. All the games of pool, outdoor showers in the backyard and sleepovers will never be forgotten. I love you my dear friend and have missed you for so many years FOREVER...
SISTER SUE LAMB (Daquanna)
