I will miss you my angel:sob:I loved you more than you knew. We were Facebook friends, how our friendship started was no doubt, God lead you to me. We talked often about having lunch but I know you were busy caring for everyone, I really wished we had. When I had a house full of baby kittens, you and your family came to my house and took one and gave it a loving home:heart:I Knew, that was 1 baby I never had to worry about:blush:. You sent me pictures as he grew up and that was like sharing pictures of our kids. I am eternally grateful that God put us on the same path. I had missed you on Facebook, I wondered, Where is my friend? Your birthday notification came, I went to your profile to wish you A Happy birthday :sob:and that’s when I learned you were sick:sob::cold_sweat:My heart was broken:broken_heart:we never expect to find out in such a manner. I was just Shocked. I watch the beautiful birthday party with you in your bed with tears in your eyes and I cried. As a mother and grandmother and wife, I knew all of your sorrow of leaving your loved ones behind. You were an amazing Christian woman who cared and that’s something everyone knew and felt. I’m so glad we were friends, God sent you into my life for a reason. Everyone in your life was Blessed! Now your are free of all of your pain and suffering, now your with your Lord and Savior. RIP my love, my friend forever, God Bless the family with much love, with prayers for healing and strength! You have so much beautiful to remember, as she was an Angel on earth. I love you Suzanne :sob::blush::heart::heart::heart:

I'm heartbroken to learn Suzanne is gone. I worked with her for 3 years in our old days as respiratory techs at the Orange hospital. I never once remember her being in a bad mood or angry - she always had that dazzling smile, easy laugh and could talk to anyone about anything. Just an instantly lovable lady. I used to pick on her for the way she said the word California. To her it was "calla-PHONE-ya." I saw her later in life working with pets at a store at Parkdale Mall. She really had a huge heart for all animals. And even more so for people and her family. She was a shining light of a person. Will always remember her with a great deal of fondness.
