I worked with Suzanne for many years. After we both left the company, we kept up with each other by email and messaging. I could always count on Suzanne to really pray for whatever prayer needs I had. I could share what was going on with me and my children and my mom and she would always respond/remark. I remember one time a couple of years ago when I was at my usual sabbatical week at Oak Island beach and posted where I was and she responded that she was there too and we were able to get together and catch up IN PERSON! That was such a God thing! She was a wonderful friend and I will truly miss her. My heart and prayers go out to the family.
