I was in awe of Mrs. Suzette as a child. She was so beautiful, and I always said she was "fancy." I remember one night she braided my hair. The next morning, early, before school, I went over to the house, which was only next door. She took out my braids, fluffed my hair, and then sprayed about a can of Aqua Net on my hair. She stood back, admired her work and my beauty, and told me I Iooked better than Bo Derek. My confidence soared! That's only one of so many memories of her. Most importantly, she and Pete gave life to Lauren....my sweet "little sister." God bless you Mrs. Suzette. I know your wings will be "fancy" ones. Love always, Yvette Guerin Bourgeois
