I loved Suzy dearly.
I am shocked devastated
by her untimely and sudden
passing..

I spent so much time
with her at Karaoke.
Suzy could light up a room
immediately and make it great.

Suzy had a great sense of humor..
and she was so beautiful
inside and out..
I will always cherish the
many times I shared with her
Those precious moments..
I am so deeply saddened by her passing..
I will always remember her
and her beautiful smile
and laugh and personality..
I will never forget her..
GOD BLESS YOU SUZY
AND MAY GOD ALWAYS KEEP YOU..
