In Suzanne's words “My heartfelt desire and eternally precious hope for having walked this Earth is to leave with friends and family, clients, students and especially my sons, the knowledge that God is love, love is freedom and freedom is peace of mind and spirit. I strive daily to bring myself to that understanding, and hope that it is passed on."
