Raymond Suggs Obituary

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I love u papa

you are the light in my heart
Love Nor

2yrs have passed since God took you home, nothing changes, life goes on, the sun rises, the sun sets, the wind blows, the leaves fall, all still goes on, and my heart still is broken.
The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that everyday when I wake up Iam one day closer to you.
Love and miss you.
Your Wife Noreen

My Darling Husband
I didnt write to you on your Birthday, I was writing words of encourgagment to our children, I know how that miss you.
So dont think ever that I would forget you or the day that the good lord placed you upon this earth, because I never will.
I knew you were busy with Jesus and Brian and Carol and the rest of our family celebrating your day, I know you are not alone, but surrounded by all that love you, and here we all love you too.
Happy Birthday Ray, love you always, Nor

Hello My Love
Had Thanksgiving on Saturday with our children,all were there except Diana, she was at home in Texas.
Dinner was ok, not as delicious as you could make but I did my best, it was in our Indiana home, Colleen lives there now with her family, in Feb she will purchase it and it will become hers, hard to believe that it has been for sale for so long and then one of our children is going to buy it, she will raise her babies there as we did ours.
Thanksgiving wasnt easy for me, too many sad memories of that last thanksgiving when you were so sick.
Iam so sorry all that had to happen to you, you didnt deserve all that pain and agony, you deserved a long healthy life.
The only thing that keeps me going is that everyday when I wake up Iam one day closer to being with you.
I love all our kids and especially our Grandkids and Great Grandaughters, but no one can fill this emptyness I carry inside me. I smile when I see them and Iam happy temporally, its just so sad, not having you here.
The boys went to the cabin, Jim got a deer and I think Little Mike.
I watched Madison, she is getting so big, her Daddy has sole custody of her now.
Its cold outside but Iam safe and warm with a roof over my head, all because you loved me and provided for me, always.
I love and miss you more than any words on paper could ever express, see you my love, hopefully tonight in my dreams, all my love to you always, Nor

well its coming on thursday I will be 64, remember we used to say what the Beattles sang in thier song, " will you still love me, will you still need me when im 64" I still need you and I still love you and I always will.
send me a sign and tell me what to do, iam so confused, I never could make decisions on my own, I always need you.
Love Nor

Dear Ray
I didnt write to you on your Birthday, I hated to make the kids sad, it was such an important and happy day always to us, I celebrated the wonderful life that you lived on that day and got thru it, today not so easy, nothing for me to celebrate, only a broken heart. Mom is here with me and I thank God for her.
Where has a yr gone? I cant believe Im still here without you, how does time go on, soemtimes I just dont understand. Last yr the winter came and went, then spring, then summer, then the fall, and now winter again, everyday I wake and put my feet on the floor and push thru another day,another day without you.
Mom and I are leaving for Patti,s on thursday, will see veryone for Xmas Eve, cant wait to see some of my Grandchildren, not all will be there.
Its the first Xmas for the babies, Ray they are so beautiful, do you see them?
I like to think that Jesus lets you see happy things.
" weeping my endurath for a moment in its favor is life, but joy comenth in the morning" that quoate thats whats its like with the babies, they make me happy.
Sometime I feel so guilty to be happy.
I know you would want me to be happy and not sad all the time, I really do try.
I love you ray and I always will.
Nor
P.S. the quoate is wrong. " Anger my endurath for a moment, in its favor is life. weeping my endurath for a night, but joy cometh in the morning"

Hi Honey
today is the 18th of November, Deer season, the boys are at the cabin, Dan,s family at his place, its a beautiful day today cool but also windy, atleast here in Indiana, Im here at Colleens she had some surgery and Iam helping her with the boys and Paige.
Going home Monday, some of the kids coming over for thanksgiving, it wont be Grand without you but we will be together and thats what counts, no one could make a turkey and stuffing like you, remember my last turkey, I didnt cook it right it was upside down in the cooker, and the carver wasnt that great either, he needs some practice.
Well tomorrow it will be 11 months that God took you home, I miss you so much.
Ok going to say goodbye for now, cant see to type anymore thru my tears
I love you and always will
Nor

Hi Honey
tomorrow is Halloween, all the kids excited, Paige is going to be a flower and Addie a Ladybug, ofcourse they look adorable in thier costumes, two little angels, speaking of them Adiie is waking up now wants a bottle, Rae and Laura are over getting ready to leave to go see Susie and Carroll and family in Paris, its coo, and crisp outside a pretty fall day, ok sweets gotta go and get sweet pea her bottle.
Love U Nor

Hello Honey
Its Sunday Oct 16th, the new babies came here for the first time this weekend, they are both so beautiful, Paige, so fragile and petite and so contented, she is such a good babygirl, Addie so vibrant and wide eyed, some day she will look for the wonders of the world.
The biggest wonder they both missed, you.
They will know you because I will tell them all about you and what a good and loving person that you were.
I sat in your chair with both those precious little girls and rock them in the comfort of you.
I miss you so much I can hardly breathe sometimes, why I cant understand why, thats whats destroying me.
Poor Locker had surgery yesterday, he got tumors removed, he has lots of stiches on his side and both his hind legs, last nite he opened some of the stiches up and Rae had to take him back today, the Vet met her and he had no nurse so she had to assist him, that was very traumatic for her.
All are home safe now, nice but a hard weekend emtionally for me.
Ok honey I will close for now, I Love you with all my being, Nor

well another sad day, finally we have a buyer for our Indiana home, I know it has to be sold but its just another hurt, we had some many happy times there with our family, baseball games, barbques, weekend card games, Dan and Kathy and the weekends they spent with us, Patty stayed when Lucky and Lady had thier puppies, she put them in the laundry room, they were driving her crazy, Mom sleeping on the pullout sofa in the living room and Lucky laying next to her on the floor.
Christmas with the tree and all the pretty wrapped gifts under the tree, Easter and all the kids running in the Easter Egg hunt shaking the eggs and putting them down when there was change in them, all the laughter and all the tears in that house, I loved that house so much, if I could have picked it up and brought it to the lake I would have, again you gave me my way cause I wanted that house, you had to commute over an hr to go to work, but you did, and never compained.
The horrible winters we got snowed in, the fireplace for heat and cooking, remeber that yr that was so bad when Pat and Jimmy brought us the generator, goodtimes honey.
Houses dont matter anymore, a mansion with an olympic size swimming poorwouldnt make me happy, being with you is the only thing I want. I know someday I will be with you once again, thats when I will truly be happy.
Miss you tons, I love you Nor

Hello My Sweet Husband,
its been awhile since I have written to you, in this time God gave us another miracle her name is Addison,she belongs to Raeann and Laura, she was born on August 20th, she weighed 6lbs 12.3 ounces, she has dark hair and blue eyes, when her hair is combed back she looks like you, remember you and I had alot to do with the planning of this babygirl, wish you could see these babies they are both so beautiful, 10 days apart, guess thats as close as Iam going to get to twins in my lifetime.
Raeann suffered to have her, when she was in pain and begging for help her eyes were your eyes when you were in pain, Iam happy you dont have any pain now, but my heart still hurts and aches for you. I just came back from visiting the kids in New Lenox and Indiana, I was gone for 2wks, I missed my home but when I got here I missed you even more. and again I say I sit here patiently waiting to be with you once again, Love you Nor

Good Morning My Love
Some really good news in our lives this week.
On August 10th a new princess entered this world she is Paige Elizabeth Simpson she was born at 4.10pm, she weighed 8-2 and 20 1/2 inches long, she has blonde hair and blue eyes. there for her birth was her GG her Aunt Pat, her Nana( me) Jono and her Aunt Jamee( mimi ) and of course you and her auntie carol and most important of all Jesus.
I hope he blesses her daily.
Then at the moment she was born Diana got a phone call that she can take Prestyn to Texas, what a wonderful day, the only way it could have been better is that you were here.
Colleen is doing fine and baby too.
Im at her house with Bray waiting for them to come home.
I understand in my mind that you are not here but my heart dosnt understand.
I wait here patiently to be with you once again.
Love Nor

Dad,
I just want to say I love and miss you like crazy!!!!!Prestyn talks about you all the time. Hayden when she see ure pix she say thats my PAPA. We love you DAD

today is July 4th. My family all left today for home, they are all there safe and sound, thank God.
Jr took the boat down yesterday and uncovered it, wasp nest all under the cover, he bought a new battery for it and started it up, when that motor crank over and that boat started a ran up those stairs so fast that when I got to the top I couldnt breathe, it ripped my heart in two to see that boat and not you, I wanted it started it was such a waste sitting in that lift, but it was harder than I thought to see it in the water without you in it, another phase I guess to this horrible thing they call the greiving process.
I dont understand why I have to stay here, I want to be with you.
You always gave me everything and this is one thing that you cant give me and its so hard to understand.
Iam so selfish, I just want you.
I see you everywhere in this house and on this land, but I havnt seen you in my dreams in a long while, come to me, let me feel you,l Iam so lonely for you.
I love you
Nor

Your Wife Noreen

Hello Honey
Leaving for Indy tomorrow, Saturday is Raeann,s baby shower, can u believe it
our baby is having a baby, you should see her in the ultra sound, she looks perfect, I think she looks like her Papa.
Her features are so defined, it unreal to see her inside her Mama,s belly.
I wanted you to be here to help me plan this shower and cook for it, every minuete I though about you with evry preperation.
Why is life so sad.
Well honey I know you cant answer that, I love you and miss yopu so much, I hate this crying crap that I do, but I havnt figured out how to stop it yet.
I will close for now
I Love You Nor

Hi Babe
Rough day today for all, lounged in my room til almost 3.30 then finally got up and took a shower.
Didnt feel like doing anything.
Pat called me first, then Jimmy, then Rae was texting, then Colleen. All sad and lonely for you, but Jimmy said it best, today wwas Brians turn to spend Fathers Day with you,he waited a long time to see you, hope you and Brian, and Jesus and Carol had a wonderful day.
That was the only happiness that I could find in this first Fathers Day without you, to know that you are truly happy in the kingdom of heaven, I only live to lookf forward to the day we meet once again.
Cindy text also to see how I was doing the Princess # 1 called last night, she was lonely for her Papa, I made her feel better. The princess # 2 facebooked me and said how she misses you, Little Mike wrote on facebook, he said Happy Fathers Day Big Daddy, we miss you, Diana and Colleena also wrote about thier Dad on facebook, you are so loved by all.
I will write again soon, maybe people read this and think Iam crazy, but it helps me to write to you.
Love You Always, your wife. 6months gone by already that God took you home.

happy early Fathers Day to the best Father in the hole world, miss and love you with all my heart and soul.
Tomorrow will be a tough day for all, you were Father to so many.
what a wonderful husband and father you are and you will never, ever be forgotten.
Love you always, Noreen

just danced to Hold Me in the living room with your picture clutched tight to my chest, been a hard week for me of missing you.
I would do anything just to see you.
I go in the little bedroom and study the pictures of you, what handsome man.
Time and time again I scream out "what am I supposed to do without you"
Why dosnt God just come and take me, I dont understand, I want to be with you.
I cut grass for hours today just not to be in the house alone, I cleaned the pool and I sprayed weeds, I hate it all.
I go to bed alone, I wake up aalone, I eat all by myself, its miserable.
I cant feel sorry for myself, I know you wouldnt be happy, I try I really try, I push myself to cook, I even baked choco chip cookie bars yesterday, I really do try but I just cant make it come together without you, tell Jesus to help me, to help all of us who where left behind.
Happy Fathers Day My sweet love
Nor

Ray,
So many things are going on all at once, I wish you were here. You always said the right words. You are missed by all, not a day goes by that your not thought of. Fathers day is Sunday and you will be thought of by all. Your were the best dad to your children and your brothers & sisters. We were very lucky to have you! I wish we could turn back time and have more time with you. I will never forget you. I love you always & forever, Patty xxxooo

Dear Ray
tomorrow is Mothers Day, it will be a difficult day for all of us.
I dont know if I can all Mom and tell her
"Happy Mothers Day" because I know how much she hurts, my heart aches for her.
No one is coming here, it dosnt matter its like you would say, its just another day
The days are getting tougher for me without you, its almost summer and your not here with me, the grass is green and the flowers are bloomoing, birds are hving babies in the small evergreens in front of the house, there is life all around me, but not you.
My life is worthless without you.
Its just empty and meaningless. I have the kids and I love them, but its still not the same.
Cant explain the loneliness that I feel to anyone, no one understands, they say well come home for ahile, stay for a couple weeks,they dont understand when I go away and then coem home its worse, then I have to adjust all over again, Iam just not happy.
You would understand if you were here and you would say "it will be ok Nor".
How many times did I sob in your arms and you would comfort me, how many times, millions of time.
I love you and always will and I miss you so much.
Nor

Hi Ray
Iam back home, went to Tunica with Caki and her family, glad to be home, except for the stillness and lonliness of this house.
I greive for you so much, Im sorry Iam trying,but it just dosnt work good without you.
Easter is this weekend, we used to make the bread together and then the frittatas, I will make them for the kids, but it will be with a broken heart.
Not everyone is coming, some arnt happy with me, but thats ok I understand, it hurts, but I love them with all my heart.
Jim going thru a rough spot right now, Iam trying to help him but I dont do as good a job as you.
He needs his Father.
Good news about Colleen and Rae, both having healthy babygirls.
Diana sold her house, she is moving in with Pat until Pres finishis school, then she will be moving to texas, I hope she does ok.
I havnt seen you in so long, please let me dream about you, I miss you so much.
Love Noreen

Hello Darling
I miss you bad these last two days,just got home yesterday, I was at the Indiana house getting some things done to be able to sell it, I stayed at Colleen,s for a week, so it was hard to come home again and get used to being alone, I ache for you, I greive for you, I cry for you, but you never come home. Iam so lonely for you, my heart is broken, I dont even feel as I have a heart anymore, I just dont know what to do anymore, please help me.
These babies are coming and they dont have a Papa and they only have half a Grandma, I have to heal or I will go crazy.
I hate life right now, I cant stand to wake up, I cant stand nightime,I miss you way too much, please let me feel you in my dreams, put your arms around me and tell me as you have a million times before that everything will be ok.
I never wanted to be without you.
I love you, Nor

Andrew and Karen are great parents.

Iam so sorry Iam doing this but I cant help it.
I miss you so
Love Nor

hey babe
ice storm here, hope the electric dosnt go out, NO BINGO tonight, tee hee.
Huge branch fell on the roof, shook the light loose in the dinning room, Denny will have to cut it up with the chain saw when the weather settles down.
Sorry but I cried alot today, just missed you so much.
One of our babies is moving to Texas, that would be Diana Rae.
I hope its a fresh start for her, she is so sad all the time, I try to help her, Iam going to stay with her next week for about 4 days.

you will be glad to know that Chris and Michelle brought the new baby to see me today, she is beautiful, Raelynn Marie is such a sweetie, I held her in your chair and she was smiling, Iam sure you were near us, I love and miss you more each and every day.
Love always, Nor

Good Morning Honey
Its 35 degrees here, has been warm all wk but very little sunshine, I need sunshine, gloomy days are not good.
Going to pick up Tillie today and take her to the fabric shop, she is making a quilt for Raeann and Laura, she sure took a likeing to those girls.
Talked to Tillie on the phone last nite, I guess it helped a little, poor woman lost both her children in thier fortys to this horrible disease( cancer) and then her husband, so she is really alone, no childresn to comfort her, she has grandkids but they dont bother with her too much, so I guess I see there is always someone worse off, but it dosnt ease the hole in my heart.
Half of me went with you when you left and until we meet again I will never be whole.
Have Jesus pray for me and for our family.
I love you always, Nor

havnt written to you in a few days, its not that Im too busy because Ia never too busy for you, its just that I cry so much when I write to you.
The Bears lost 21/14 stupid "Cheese Heads" won.
First time I ever sat thru a football game, I sat in your chair and sang "Bear Down Chg Bears" thats probably why they lost, tee hee.
Its 30 out today, yesterday was 39 all the snow is melted in the drive and on the sidewalks.
Ray I love you so much, its so hard without you here with me, please come to me in my dreams so I can feel you and see you.
Love you forever and ever Nor

Ray
Its Sunday, Big Day For The Chicago Bears, they play the packers at 2.00 you better make sure they win, if not there will be hell to pay wit Raeann, she just left here she was here for the weekend, it was nice, but now the house is lonely and very sad once again.
I try so hard and I tell myself no crying today. but it dosnt help, Iam such a baby.
I try to keep busy, but you are always on my mind.
Kelly is kinda sick a little, guess she has a tumor behind her ear, tomorrow she will see her Doctor, ask Jesus to heal here, I sure couldnt handle anything happening to her.
I Love and I miss you
Nor

Good Morning Honey
Rae and locker are here, they came last night to stay for the weekend.
Its snowing a tiny bit today.
I had a dream about you last night, you looked so good, I know you probably are not sick anymore and you are probably so happy where you are, but Iam so miserable without you. Everyday I try harder and harder to live my life wihout you because I know thats what you would want, but it sure isnt easy.
I have family that helps me and friends, but it still is so hard to deal with.
Looking forward to the spring dosnt help either, dont know how it will be without you, the future just dosnt look brighter.
New life is coming to us everyday, there is a secret, but you will know soon, actually Iam sure you already know, God does bestow some blessing on us, just sometimes they are hard to understand.
Pray for me.
Love Nor

Ray
its so cold here today, hopefully going to water aerobics this afternoon, hope it warms up some.
Weston is coming home today, Dan just sent me a pic of him, he is wearing one of your bandana,s,. Iam sure Andrew and Karen will tell him lots about his Uncle Ray, and how much you would have loved him. I have enough love from both of us for him.
I love you and miss you.
Nor

Ray
We got another Miracle from God,
Weston Suggs was born yesterday to Andrew & Karen he weighed 7lbs 8 0z and was 20" longs, he is so beautiful and best of all he was born on my birthday, my birthday was so hard on me, I missed you so much, spent my 1st night alone since you have been gone, it wasnt too bad, feel asleep around midnight.
Its snowing here since last night, thats why Mom and Pat had to leave last night, we are expecting quite a lot of snow, hope the weatherman is wrong, I hate this snow.
Remeber when I was in the hospital and you said it was so lonely here without me, well this house is very lonely, quiet, and sad.
I love you
Nor

Ray
the Bears won, thank God because no one would have been able to talk to Raeann if they had lost, they will play the Packers on Sunday, they havnt played them since 1941. , she was glad theywon but it hurt her to watch it without you, but then Iam sure you were with her.I will be on pins and needles next wk until the game is over.
Jimmy and Hunter and Brandon watched the game here and ate pizza, Colleen and Mom and Patty were here too, it was a nice day but ofcourse the main attraction was missing "our big daddy", but you were here in spirit, I feel so warm and cozy in your chair, its as if you are hugging me.
I miss you honey, oh so much.
Love Nor

I love and miss you Uncle Ray. Rest in peace!
Love always,
Savannah <3

Good Morning Honey, I miss you as always, Mom is still here but she will be going home this week, i wont like that at all, she is such a good part of my life.

Ray went to a Memorial Mass for you tonight afficiated by your friend Father Ralph, it was so sad to see your name in the program, it broke my heart all over again, but I was in a church and prayed to the Lord to help me in my time of greiving. Someone from the pastoral care talked with me about grief counseling, I will consider going, I know I need help.
Mom was so sad she was too sick to come with me, Denny and Nancy took me and Marliyn Wirth also came, Bob was too sick he couldnt make, he is on dyalisis now.
There were many names on the list of people who have passed away in the last two months, your nurse Nancy was there she lost hwer sister Dec 3rd Darlene( Chars neice was there) she lost her husband too.
I went in your honor tonight honey,I love and miss you so very much, ask Jesus to pray for me.

Its two weeks today that God called you home, each day gets harder and harder for those that were left behind,everyday I say I cannot make it thru another day, then a new day dawns and Iam still here yet to make it thru another day alone without you.
I will try harder to handle this, I promise, because you wouldnt want me to be this way, I miss you and Love you, Nor

RAY
I SIT HERE AND LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AND READ EVERYONES MESSAGES OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND I STILL CANT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE NOT HERE,I GO SHOPPING AND IAM OK, I GO TO BINGO AND IAM OK, BUT IAM NOT OK ONCE IAM HOME, YOUR NOT HERE.
I HATE IT HERE WITHOUT YOU.
I KNOW YOU ARE NOT IN PAIN ANYMORE AND YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE, BUT NONE OF THAT HELPS ME, THE SORROW THAT ENVELOPES MY SOUL IN UNBEARABLE.
I WILL TRY TO GET BETTER, I PROMISE, I LOVE YOU, NOR

Uncle Ray-

Your memorial was very nice. It's amazing how much you have impacted each and every one of us.

I want to thank you for:
*Always being my dance partner,
*Having the greatest sense of humor,
*Walking my Mom down the aisle,
*Feeding my Dad,
*Making Gram hear again,
*Putting everyone before yourself

I will never forget my last words with you- - you telling me that you will be better company the next time I see you...I cannot wait until I see you again.
I promise I will take care of Brody, my little Bambino as you call him.

I love you always and forever,
Rachael Rae

Am sure you were looking down on us from heaven. You probably said thank you for coming and be safe going home. All of your family was here for your Memorial. I miss you and love you dear Raymond. Your Mom

everyone went home, it just Mom and Me, I can believe this is real, must be a mistake somewhere, you cant really not be here with me, I need to wake up from this dream soon, I cant breathe, I miss you so. I never hurt so bad in my whole life.
I thought I would be ok and I was when everyone was here, but not now.
Ray please ask Jesus to help me.
Love Nor

Happy New Year Big Brother! Watch over all of us and keep us strong. Love & miss you always.
Love you always & forever.

Hi Honey its wednsday evening, getting close to your Memorial on Saturday, its only family, the Giometti,s and the Rossi,s.
There will be 54 of us and Father Ralph
giving our love and tributes to you.
I hope you are watching us, I Love You, Nor

Ray,I still sit in disbelief that you
were taken from us.They say God takes the good ones. I look back fondly on
34 years of memories that I will keep
close to my heart. I always respected
your strength, perseverence, and love of family. You also had a great sense of humor that we all will miss. I know
that you are in a better place after
having touched many lives in a positive way. Love, Greg

another day has dawned and Iam still missing you, guess I always will.
Luv U Nor

Dear Suggs Family,
God has taken Ray to be with him, to comfort him. The sadness felt by me and Lisa this week cannot be put into words. The thought that he is in a much better place, however, gives us solace. We will miss Ray's great sense of humor and love of family. His sense of adventure is now just beginning, I can't help but believe hunting will be great in heaven. He will be dearly missed by Lisa and I, he always made us feel like a part of his family...that was his gift to so many. We both are very blessed to have had him in our lives.
With love and prayers to all of you,
Bill & Lisa Briscoe

Ray

I will love you always and forever, Nor

Dear Ray,
I am truly missing you. We have been there for each other since highschool,setting you up with your wife, and watching our children grow. I promise to make sure your grandchildren (and great) stay clean (lol). I have too many memories to mention, but you truly have been a very important family memeber in our lives. I will miss you always. I fight and love your wife as if she was the sister I never had and I will look after her in the years to come. I will keep her fiesty. I already feel you here. You always messed with me. I hear the basement door slam - I know you are messing with me because you thought I was loud. I love you Ray and I will see you one day. Say hello to everyone for me...
Love Always
Nancy

Ray,

Merry Christmas! We love and miss you. I am sure you were watching over us on Christmas Eve with a big smile on your face seeing us all together. God Bless you Ray. Love you always and forever, Patty xxx ooo

Goodnight Sweetheart, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, I will be with our family, and we'll be missing you.
I will see you in my dreams.
love you always and forever, Nor

Papa,

Dad,
Not quite sure where to start... I want to thank you for being MY dad. You were the best dad a girl could ask for. You were so loving to all 7 of us and I can't say thanks enough. I hated to see you suffer, you stayed strong for so long and now your in heaven with Aunt Carol and Brian. I will do as you asked, I will not argue with my siblings.. and I will try my best to take care of mom, but as you know she is strong willed and sometimes she dosen't listen :) I love you and miss you so much.

Love always #6 Col
