I love you Mom. With each passing day, it gets harder and harder for me not being able to talk to you. We had so many great talks. I miss taking you to the store, waiting in the parking lot. I miss going to Church with you. I miss how we visited other churches when we traveled to see our horses run. I only wish you had more time here to spend with your Grandchildren. They really need your teachings. You were the purest heart I've ever known. It's only fitting that God could not heal your physical heart, and took you to heaven. God must really need you up there. Love yo always - Your son Stivo.

I’ll never forget the first time I met Suzanne almost 20 years ago when I first moved to Kenosha and we attended an art class at the Kenosha Art Association. She was a bright light shining on a cold dark winter night and we instantly connected!I remember her and her family at a Kenosha Creative Space block party event and how loving they all were. It made a lasting impression on me. She will be missed by all the hearts she touched. Prayers and blessings 🙏❤️ Mary Spence

Suzanne was truly an “Angel” who lived among us. Never have I met a more kind, sweet, loving individual. Her smile stayed in your memories forever. So very, very sorry for Mel, her children, grandchildren, and all who were fortunate to be of her acquaintance. Suzanne was a blessing to all the many lives she touched.

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I remember Aunt Sue and Uncle Mel's wedding. We were kids and never went to any church but St. Francis so when I walked in I thought it was really beautiful. Then after the wedding instead of throwing rice, the older people threw change. All us kids waited and then picked up all the money. We all thought it was the coolest thing... I'm going to miss my Aunt greatly. She was always a favorite of mine. I loved when she came down and visited me in Arizona. We laughed and laughed. Always a great time to see her. My heart hurts but I know she is an instant angel for God!

I have no doubt in my mind that Susie became an angel immediately after her passing. I have never met a more wonderful person with a more loving heart. My condolences to all of the family and know that you will all be in my prayers. May she rest in peace.

Although I have not seen Sue in many years, she was always dear to my heart. We kept in touch via Facebook as I live in Chicago. All through High School she was my good friend, I even stood up to her wedding. She always had a smile on her face , and nota bad word to say to anyone. ..She was blessed to have a wonderful family which I know who are hurting now and will miss her.

Q: How would you describe Suzanne to someone who had never met them? A: Suzanne was a ray of sunshine. She exuded a joy and gentleness. Her son is married to my niece. I couldn't believe this sweet, young looking, naturally pretty woman had six children. She was a supportive compassionate woman who was easy to talk with. You felt a genuine person with no pretense. Her love of family and faith was a priority.

My sympathies. Suzanne was a great person to talk to at Arlington International Racecourse. Enjoyed being at the track with Melvin when he had a horse running.
