When I moved to Big Spring last year, Suzanne was one of the very first people I met at First Baptist Church. She immediately made me feel welcome and like I was part of her family. Her wit and sense of humor combined with her obvious pure joy of living made her a true blessing to be around. A very special lady indeed, I am proud to have known her and thank God for sharing her with us. She will be truly missed. May God continue to bless your family.

Suzanne's voice has been added to the choir of angels! What a gift she gave each of us - her humor, love and beautiful voice was a gift we each so loved. Her singing Sweet Little Jesus Boy each Christmas, and always reminding us that it really was Walter Wheat's song was special. She was a dear sweet Christian friend, and a great blessing to many!
