Oh my God, David, I am so sorry to hear. Words fail to surmise the feelings of sorrow and sadness. I am truly overwhelmed with grief and astonishment...a terrible & tragic loss. It only seems like just yesterday...I remember at Nelson Art Gallery that funny Navy Blue suit and tie, so strange looking. And having coffee with you both at Broadway Cafe, and her laugh, her distinctive laugh. Although I haven't been in touch over the years, I've thought of you both, and the image of you together is etched in my mind, indelibly. It's hard to see only one. Peace be with you, and your family.
-With Deepest Regret and Sadness.

Many blessings to you both, Dave and sweet little Matilda. Through the heaviness may there be a lightness that carries you through all your days. Suzanne is a beautiful soul and we will always remember her.

I am so sorry for your loss and hope the memory of Suzanne remains as vivid as her incredible character. I was so lucky to work with her on a daily basis at the Nelson and to become friends. She was so inspiring, consumed by creativity, an immense curiosity, and warm self-expression. I will continue to think of her often and hope her daughter shares the same qualities as her incredible parents. I hope you find love and comfort.

David and family...
Suzanne was my first art director at Trozzolo Creative. She was so passionate and never failed to stand up for what she believed in. She inspired me to be a stronger woman by working with her. She was such a passionate, inspiring, creative, free spirited woman - what a devasting loss. She will be missed greatly. I am so sad and incredibly sorry - david - you and all your family are in my thoughts... I am sorry from the bottom of my heart...

I met Suzanne only a few times but, it was obvious to me and everyone else around, that she is a special person. Her humor, creativity and the kindness she showed to everyone, as well as her genuine caring, will be missed.

I suspect Matilda will grow up to be just like her mom and bring joy and love to all who know her.

David, the Neffs of Kansas City, Missouri (Tom, Ian, Nik and Leah Gautier-Neff), are with you in mind and spirit.
