Just learned dear "Suzi", what I called her growing up in Marianna. Our parents were good friends and she and I reminisced about our camping trips to Petit Jean Mountain state park, walking from school when I missed the bus, etc. She really adored all her family. My heart and prayers go out to all of you because I know you still miss her.
