Words are simply not in my vocabulary to describe this beautiful person, friend, colleague. My respect for Suzann runs deep in my soul. Admiration for her strength in every walk of life has been monumental since we met decades ago. Thursday I felt a piece of my heart sealed and flown away with her. It is an honor I have to tell the world she was my dear friend. I learned from her inner strength, and when perils arose it was always with grace and dignity she spoke. I will miss our laughter and tears and above all, I will remember her always. I am so grateful Suzann K Slaughter touched my life.
