After reading about Suzy and the comments that her friends made me think of my momwho passed away in 2003 and who like Suzy always looked at the sky when we walked along the lake shore. Like my mom Suzy left a beautiful legacy of love.

In memory of Suzy, a beautiful lady in many ways.

I knew Suzy over 25 years ago and worked for her making Stained Glass Windows in a little shop she owned while I completed a degree at TCU. I knew her to be creative, courageous, and compassionate. She was a wonderful person and she will be dearly missed I know by her family and her community as well.

Suzy's vision and work will continue to grow just as the gardens she loved so well. We have lost a dear friend but the memories of her and her spirit and leadership remain in our heart forever.

Suzy was the softest spoken person I know, yet she made one of the biggest impressions on me. What an amazing contribution she has made to all of our schools. I'll think of her every time I hear the calming sound of the crushed granite under my foot as I walk the paths of my school garden.

Suzy's spirit lives on as our family contiues to memorialize her in our thoughts and prayers. Her kindness, generosity, and a loving heart will always be with us. Our family has been blessed by knowing Suze.

Suzy made things grow -- gardens, organizations and people. I imagine she'll still enjoy watching things unfold from her bird's eye view. We will miss her.

Today is the memorial service for one of our dear friends Suzy Peacock. She and James connected when he started the garden at Sam Rosen. Since then, numerous schools have received gardens. Suzy was a beautiful person. When she said something, you felt it and you knew she meant every word. When I look back at the many email conversations or any of the dinners we have had, I see how her karma gave us a special treat, a blessing if you will. May you God welcome you into his garden Suzy. We love you.

Suzy was a VERY special person. She touched the lives of those around her. She valued children, families, community and honored the work of teachers. Reflection, sense of place, stewardship and delicate balance in details and life are all attributes that exemplify this wonderful lady that touched my life.

I will remember Suzy's words on every beach walk: Remember to look at the sky.
