To the dear family of my friend Suzanne. I worked with Suzanne at the VA Medical Center for many years until my retirement last August. She was one of a kind, a gentle lady with a gracious heart. I know Jesus was waiting for her at the gates to His kingdom and said to her "well done my good and faithful servant." Suzanne, until we meet at Jesus' feet, may you find comfort in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family and friends. God Bless.
