Although she had incurred many difficult and trying times over the last few years, her strong faith in God kept her going.
She loved her children tremendously, always wanting to be part of their lives. It is a shame that she will not be able to be part of the monumental times to come.
She was attending the University of Great Falls with hopes of one day working in psychology. This was a lifelong dream of hers that she finally decided to pursue. She was on the most recent dean's list, an ac-complishment we were all so proud of her for.
We will always remember her quick wit, wonderful sense of humor and kind heart. The only comfort we find now is to know our dad was there to take her hand and lead her on to heaven. Once there, we're sure she wasted no time in arranging a card game with him again.
We all loved you and will miss you with all our hearts. No more tears in heaven.
We would also like to thank her dear friend, Cindy Hofstad, who provided Suzanne with an un-wavering friendship.
She is survived by her mother, Victoria Wavra of Great Falls; daughters Abigail Roberts and Kenedee Roberts of Great Falls; sons Taylor Roberts and Isaiah Roberts of Great Falls; sisters Kori (Dale) Hillyard of Sun River, Michele (Jim) Benson of Mis-soula, and Vicki (Jeff) Tuttle of Great Falls; brother Matthew (April) Wavra of Great Falls; as well as many nieces and neph-ews.
