To our cherished community,

It is with unimaginable grief that I share that my husband, my love and partner in all things, died by su***de on June 14, 2025.

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝘂𝘇𝘆’𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗜 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲, 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿.

This is not a goodbye, just a necessary pause.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please know you are not alone. Mental health matters. You matter. There is help, and there is hope, even when the darkness feels overwhelming. The happiest of people can mask their depression.

🖤 Call or text 988 for free, confidential support.
🖤 Reach out to someone. Speak their name. Ask how they’re really doing.

Thank you for your love, your support and your patience during this time.

Please hold your people and pets close.

- Suzanne
