Dave and Suzanne’s family –
Suzanne will always have a special place in my heart – I have lots of great memories of growing up across the road from her and catching the bus together each day! As life moved on we went our separate ways only to see each other occasionally but when we did, nothing had changed – she still had that beautiful smile and we talked like time had never passed! We will miss you!

Suzanne sure was one of a kind! I will never forget the early days working at TD 1976 with Suzanne and I as the two most qualified posting machine operators!! I was so shy and tried to avoid making too much noise with the PAID stamp but Suzabell made enough noise for both of us!! Lol!
So many great memories of our working days together, as well as many get togethers!!
It didn’t matter which city Dave was transferred to as manager I would make sure I would visit them on my vacation!! So many years of memories that I will never forget.
My deepest condolences to Dave and Suzanne’s family! Keep the awesome memories of Suzanne close to your heart!!❤️
Joanne Bengough
