Dear CC,
We are sad to hear about the loss of your mother. The lake was never the same for us without both Jim and Suzan. Laughter, caring, and Neighbor with a capital letter was gone. We wish you good memories and the knowledge of how much you were loved.

It was such a pleasure and blessing to have known Suzan and Jim. They brought so much joy to our lives though the time spent with them was short. God bless CC and her family through this time of sorrow. May you find peace in knowing how much Suzan was loved and the joy she brought to all of us that were blessed to have known her.

Suzan & I had many good times together as teenagers. I spent many nights at her house, even went on trips to Florida & Dallas with her family. Wish we had stayed in touch more over the years. So sorry for your loss. I know she loved her family and will be missed.

I will miss you, until the day I see you again. The time we shared together, are lessons I will carry with me forever. Your love and kindness is an example every one should follow. I truly think the only thing that kept us together for all these years is your tolerance. I know at times it was tough and stressful, but we worked together and came through with flying colors. Suzan you are my best friend and I truly love you in every part of my being. I know I will not find another like you and know not to try. But if the next woman I am involved with doesn't use the "F" word religiously, then I know it won't be as fun as it was with you.
Please be well in the here-after and continue visiting me once in awhile.
Loving you with each passing day.
