Barbara and Bob Suczek were our next door neighbors in Lafayette between 1952 and 1960, and became our lifelong friends. They were both mentors for me and were instrumental in my choice of future career and lifestyle. Barbara was a person of such strength, dignity and caring. She helped me weather through raising 3 children during their crucial early years, and was always a nurturing, loving person with a fantastic sense of humor! I feel very lucky to have had her in my life at the time we were neighbors because her guidance and immense sensitivity enabled me to survive those early years of our children's lives. I will always remember Barbara Suczek with great love and affection and gratitude. She was certainly a woman not to be forgotten.
