A SUZIE TRIBUTE
Posted: January 18, 2017 | Last Revised: January 18, 2017

THIS ISN’T A STORY……IT’S A TRIBUTE TO MY SWEET FRIEND SUZIE. SHE WAS ALWAYS SO POSITIVE AND ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT EVERY THING…..IT WAS CONTAGIOUS! SHE AND VAUGHN AND GARY AND I DID A LOT OF FUN DOUBLE DATING WHEN THEY LIVED DOWN HERE. OUR LAST TIME TOGETHER WAS SUMMER BEFORE LAST WHEN WE WERE ON A ROAD TRIP AND LOOKED THEM UP FOR A VISIT. WE WENT OUT TO DINNER AND SUZIE WAS SO EXCITED SHE JUST TALKED AND TALKED AND TALKED ,SHE ACTUALLY WORE ME OUT AND SHE WAS THE ONE FIGHTING CANCER! A TRULY AMAZING, LOVING WOMAN. GOOD BYE SUZIE BUT ONLY FOR A WHILE!!!

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is never easy. No doubt Suzanne will be missed. I hope you can find come from Revelation 21:4 which says, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
