My cousin suzana, inherited conflicts have separated us, we haven't seen each other for at least 30 years. In the meantime I have been to Canada and the USA many times. I'm sorry I didn't take the first step to find you. Rest in peace.
Peace and serenity at last
You will be missed by many Suzy, my sincere condolences to the family. You were such a sweetheart, I will miss you my friend.
My beautiful friend Suzy who I met in nursing school, you were always a light when I would see you. You could put a smile on anyone's face when you would talk about your beloved dog in your cute accent. I will miss you and forever cherish crossing paths with you. The last time I seen you was at the farmers market at your little jewelry stand, you were so creative and fashionable. I'll remember our last hug forever, angel.
rip suzy. i will never forget you and the fun times we had at work. .
Suzy, thank you having such an amazing impact in my life! Your strength, love and courage will never be forgotten! Love you sweet soul!!
Suzy, you always made Ainsley and I smile every time we seen you. Whether it be at the farmers market or the barbershop we always shared a laugh. You were a kind and thoughtful person and I'm very fortunate to have met you. Thank you for being you!
Suzy was one of the shiniest gems I have ever come across. Her fun-loving nature and deep well of empathy and compassion for others was inspiring and warm. She would always have me laughing - the world is certainly duller without her. Love you Suzy - I will honour you one day on the beaches of Croatia that you spoke so highly of. Rest in Paradise Xoxox
Suzy was a breath of fresh air, and a pleasure to know. We'll all truly miss her. One time, she made a custom necklace for me. I promptly lost it on the first wear. I felt so badly about it, and apologized to her. She just responded with a smile and a hug and said, "It's fine! I'm sure it will end up where it's supposed to. Let's find you a new one". That's the kind of person she was to the outside world. The ability to cheer up a room or a uncomfortable moment, instantly. Xo RIP
So sorry to know that Suzy has left this world She was a beautiful soul gone way to soon My deepest condolences to her family Rest in peace Suzy

Our Suzy! You will be so dearly missed! You gave me the pleasure of the best summer I could have had! despite being coped up in a farmhouse sweating and busting our butts off serving, we were always smiling and laughing. I could count on you for anything, light night phone calls or a shoulder to cry on oh and don't forget our amazing karaoke days aha!. We grew so close this summer! You are a hard person not to love after all! I couldn't wait to do it again Suzy, the world shines a little less brighter without you around. I will miss your phone calls, and especially that beautiful gorgeous laugh of yours. You lived a hard life, you worked hard, now rest easy, and sleep peacefully now... I love you Suzy ?

I will cherish the memories I have with Suzy. Coming to my place and cutting my hair, just hanging out and talking over tea.
