Suzanne will be greatly missed for her love, generosity, sense of humor, dedication to her family & friends, and for her compassion towards all.

To my cousins and their families. It has been said by so many, but it’s worth repeating. Aunty Suzanne was a very special lady who welcomed everyone she met with a big smile. It was always genuine. She will be missed.
