WOW! Where do I began auntie Susanne? We shared so much as I grew up from board games, laughter, hugs, tears, joy, shopping, to learning to cook. When you came into my life it was forever and when I lost my mom you gave me that support I needed when I was angry at the world at such a young age. You were there to teaching me how to not give up on life and how to love again. You shared so much of you and as I grew into this woman I owe a part of womanhood to you. The loving heart you had & still have I will always remember you for that. Your fast talking, snorkling of your nose, to you always having time to play a board game with me. If it wasn't for your advice to have at least 1 child I probably wouldn't have my only son. Life want be able to repay you for your generous heart, kind words, or your BIG smile; but I promise to never forget you & to make sure I let Leilani know how special her grandmother was. I will truly miss you & miss sharing with you the gift God finally gave me in love. I last shared with you a picture of someone special in my life so make sure you share that with grandma and mommy. Let them know I am finally being loved the way I should. Most of all I I can still heart your loud laughter and that warms my heart. I will truly miss you; but I am glad your not in anymore pain. Gone too soon; but God needed his angle.
To Susanne Family, She was a good friend to me. We met in cross-jobs when I briefly left the State of Florida to work for TCC we both were hired and had orientation together. We walked, prayed and talked to encouraged each other through our employment while housed at Department of Education. Even after we departed our work experience, we continued to stay in touch and I will truly miss her. I always keep the memories we shared close to my heart. Rest in Peace my sweet Friend.
May your beautiful soul rest in Heaven. Though many hearts are hurting peace will come knowing you're in our Fathers arms. I love you Auntie and you will truly be missed. LaShante and Family
