Suzanne was brilliant, creative, unique, fun-loving, and incredibly ambitious. Nothing is better proof of this than her Life List, a handwritten list titled "200 Things to Do Before I Die." Suzanne's personality shines so brightly through this list, you can almost see her coming up with each goal and aspiration. Suz started this list when she was a little girl in Lakeland and continued to add to it throughout her life, wherever she was. These goals range from the practical to the whimsical to the most heartfelt. The list was 131 items long when she passed away, and she had already checked off a number of the tasks. It is now left to us, her family and friends, to finish this extraordinary list.
Some of these items are easier than others, and many of us have completed at least one of the items on the list. As it was Suzanne's goal to accomplish each item at some point in her life, please tell us if you've accomplished some of these already in yours. For many dreams on this list, however, it will take hardwork, dedication, perseverance, and a little luck for them to be achieved. There is no doubt that anyone who reads this list will be inspired by Suzanne to put their creativity and ingenuity to work. Please tell us about the adventures you embark on in honor of Suz by sending updates and pictures to FriendsofSuz@gmail.com. To read the stories behind our great feats, click on any of the items with check marks.
After we have accomplished the 131 items on this list, we hope to come up with 69 more that are worthy to be added to Suzanne's "200 Things To Do Before We Die." |
