We were so saddened to hear of Suzanna's passing via the Annapolis Capital newspaper. We met Suzanna through her second cousin, Laurence, about 15 years ago. Upon learning of her talents, we asked her to draw up some designs for a very small project for an office building we own on Maryland Ave. Her drawings passed City Hall with flying colors, no changes.
We were so impressed with her enthusiasm, diligence and magnetic personality, we asked her to help redesign a home on Ridout Creek. Chuck was deployed to Bahgdad at the time, but that didn't stop us from having Sunday afternoon conference calls involving Chuck, myself and Suzanna. Although we did end up nixing the project, it was only for a far better one: upon Chuck's return, we found a wonderful piece of property right on the Chesapeake Bay and Suzanna jumped on board with extra enthusiasm. With Chuck's help, Suzanna designed us the most beautiful house while meeting my request for a 'farm like house' similar to the one we tore down and Chuck's vision for a modern floor plan and features. No one was more proud of this project than the three of us!
Although we lost touch with Suzanna many years ago after her relocation back to Florida, her spirit exists in these Annapolis walls!
Our deepest sympathy reaches all of you from Annapolis, MD.

Suzanna and Lawrence lived on our corner in Annapolis for several years. It was such a joy to get to know these two cousins. I have their picture as well as paintings they did on my walls and cherish them now more than ever. Whoever wrote Suzanna's obituary nailed it - she was a special person that will be missed by all who had the privilege to know her.

Suzanna was a VERY SPECIAL cousin and a best friend! I have so many special memories from growing up together, our playing circus together with other cousins in Suzanna 's yard. We would pack up a lunch and row over to Belle Grove or just out in the middle of the river and eat our lunch. Every time we would get together or talk on phone we would talk about those wonderful times!! Suzanna never had anything negative to say about anyone and she was always had her beautiful smile for you. Suzanna is going to be missed so very much by everyone who ever was lucky enough to know her!!
Rest in peace my dear sweet friend and cousin!!!
Will always remember her positive energy and quickness to help, using her incredible talent and love. Just knowing Suzanna was on this earth made it a kinder and loving place. Suzanna embodied the lyrics of our class song, "Live free and beauty surrounds you, the world still astounds you, each time you look at a star...." We will miss her greatly.
