Jerry and family, I am really sorry for your loss. Suzie and I worked together for many years until I left Ft. Worth and moved to Florida. She was a wonderful friend and I really enjoyed her friendship. I loved coming to her home at the holidays. She always had us gals over. There are so many wonderful stories to tell. I will keep them in my memories. Be at peace Suzie forever.
