Prayers for all your family.
Suzy and I were good friends and neighbors having grown up together in St Joe. We were in the same grade and went to Cathedral together. Her dad was our family doctor and her mom was such a wonderful person just like Suzy. I had 4 sisters and our families were close growing up. We kept in touch over the years. She was such a sweet person and will be greatly missed by all that knew her. God Bless, we will keep all
olf the family in our thoughts and prayers.
Suzy has been a friend for so many years. She was a kind wonderful person. Prayers to the family…….
I got to know your mom at Crestone assisted living. I brought her communion. She was such a sweet woman. I will miss her. She loves the prayers and our conversations.
Erin, Katie & family,

She was beautiful on the inside & out! Suzy could be so darn funny without even trying! Her laugh was infectious! We had so many wonderful times together!
She is done with health issues & currently watching the Chief’s game from heaven ~ XOXOXO
