my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Suzanne. I worked with her for many years, and she was such an inspiration to me. I learned so much from her. When she retired "all" her duties were given to me. I was truly terrified because I knew I could not fill her shoes. Though she was retired she let me know I could call her to, at least, help me get into the working "shoes" she wore. Her patience with me helped me through so many crises. She was truly an icon to me with such eloquence in her speech she would have me spellbound just listening to her talk. I never could emulate the gift she had with words. Suzanne loved her children and grandchildren and would do anything for you. Remember that love. I pray that you will rely on God's strength, comfort and love in your time of sorrow.
