Suzanne our sister, wife and friend
We’ll miss you every day
We’re here to celebrate your life
And here’s what we can say
Your smile lit up the room for all
For miles we’d hear your laugh so loud
Your 2 eyes sparkled like ocean blue
Your nieces and nephews made you so proud
Suz had some loves and we all knew them
Starting with brothers 8
Whatever they did... whatever they said
Suz always thought they were great
And Mary Pat, her sister joy
Held a special place in her heart
In a boat, a kitchen, the sand or yard
With beers in hands, love off the chart
She loved her friends, from past and now
The times they had with memories fine
The Trinity troupe or the Evers gals
The antics, parties, dinners, wine
She loved to fish, she loved to cook
She worked out hard and loved to read
She loved her jewels and clothes galore
Her fabulous garden filled her creative need
And Vic, her wife, her joy, her life
They traveled through life together
Enjoying each day through thick and thin
The sun was found in any weather
And those who left her way too soon
Mark, Bob, Max, Dad and Mom
The love she had was never done
And they’re back together again
Her heart was broken but so big
Any wish was her command
From cats and dogs, all people knew
She was always ready to lend a hand
So celebrate and lift a glass
Mimosas, wine, or beer
To celebrate our Suzy girl
Our love for her was clear
