After living in pain for over seven years from what started as a rare nerve cancer my sweetie is now free from pain, illness, and sadness for eternity.
Nathaniel, Jackson Jr., and I are devastated but we will hold close the precious love and memories that she left for each of us.
Suzanne was the strongest person I have ever met. All these years of living with chronic pain that nobody really understands, all the while being a great wife and mother to our boys. She was the bedrock of this family.
Thank you to everyone who has already reached out to offer prayer, help, and sympathies.
Rest in peace Sweetie, I love you very much.
