It was truly a blessing to have worked for several years alongside Suzanne. She had a keen interest in and compassion for people beyond the daily workplace interactions. I appreciated her gentleness and warmth towards others including myself. My condolences to her family, partner and friends.
I still don’t feel ready to write a remembrance for Suzanne. Except to say I love her very much and my life is rich and deep because she is forever a jewel in it. From her brilliant smile, her thoughtful and inspiring poems, in her generous feedback to our writing group over the past fifteen years, and the way she welcomed me into her home and heart, all I ever felt was love. My heart goes out to everyone who is missing her. I have this image of our love for Suzanne radiating out from each of us and meeting at that point from which her essence still shines forth. What a force and comfort that is!
