Dear Suzanne’s Family,
I was traveling in Colorado when I heard the very shocking news about Suzanne’s passing.
I am forever grateful I had an opportunity to visit with her at the recent VA retirement luncheon. She was a devoted nurse. She was always professional and always kind. She made a difference in many people’s lives including mine.
I am thankful that our paths crossed in life.
With Sympathy to each of you during a very difficult time…and in time may you be blessed with peace…
