Funeral Details

Dear Bonnie and Larry
Any words of mine to console you would be totally inadequate in light of such a terrible loss. I am sure that the sadness o her passing will soon be replaced by the joy, you both had as her parents. Suzie's smile and joyful demeanor will always be in my memory.
From my famility to yours, my sincere condolences and may G-D grant her eternal peace.

Dear Bonnie and Larry,

I am so very sorry to hear about this news. Susie was a beautiful soul who touched everyone around her. I remember spending time with her as a child and watching Sesame Street with her. I remember the last time I saw all of you at Starbucks in Deerfield- she always had a smile to share. She will be deeply missed. My heart is with your family during this time. May the memory of Susie forever be a blessing. With love, Lizzy Garlovsky

Hearing of Susies passing brings an overwhelming feeling of sadness to me. Susie for whom I was blessed to be friends with for over 3 decades was the person I think we all strive to be. Susie embraced her life and those fortunate enough to be close to her. No matter how grim something may have been, Susie always had a way to find the good, be the beacon of light and provide reassurance that everything was going to just fine. I still to this day when faced adversity ask myself, what would Susie say now, how would she react. Her unmatched positive attitude, smiling face and warm heart will so greatly missed not only by those who knew and loved her, but also the thousands she touched one way or another during her life. Apparently her greatness is needed elsewhere now, unfortunate for us but amazing for those she is with now. I will keep her alive through the greatness she spread and the memories she left me with. Bonny and Lawrence you must be so proud of the daughter you raised I am sure you saw the light and love that Susie gave this world. Your daughter our friend was an angel and touched so many.; and for that you should be so proud.

Endless love and respect,

Bobby B

Bonny and Larry, I remember that bright smile of Susie’s.It could always light up a room.I remember how happy Susie was when she found out Dara was going to Arizona.I remember Susie being part of Dara’s wedding.I see her clearly sitting at the table and signing the ketubah!! What you and Larry gave to Susie was unbelievable.You gave her unconditional love.When the professionals gave you a negative response when she was young you turned around and showed them what Susie was capable of.I want you to know how much I respect you and Larry and most of all Susie.I have learned a lot from your family.Susie showed us all.She was beyond special

Susie was my student at the Lavin Educational Center when she was 3 years old. She was bright, curious, and loving. I will always feel fortunate to have known her. I hope you can find some comfort in memories of Susie during this devastating time.

My deepest sympathy to Susies family and all who loved her, which includes myself. I worked with Susie every day for 3 years. We were partners and good friends. We laughed ourselves silly everyday. I will miss you my sweet loving friend. Love you.

Dear Bonny and Larry,
There are no words that can convey the overwhelming sadness that I feel. I share your grief and your loss. Days and nights are one now and it seems that the world will never be in balance again.

I watched Susie grow from childhood. I saw her determinaton to succeed with every challange put in front of her. Her little plieas (sp) as a ballerina - her chanting her Haftorah with confidence on her Bat Mitzvah - her flying back and forth to the U of A - two college graduations - becoming a careful driver and being a teacher's aid with the passion and love for the craft she studied so hard for. I saw her walk with Larry in Northbrook Court to gain strength and balance. I saw her determination to move from the front seat of your car to her wheelchair to be able to see a play or go to dinner. And I saw that no matter how tired you both were - Susie was the sunshine in your lives.

Susie was nutured from infancy by the most remarkable parents. She was given to you as parents because Gd knew you would encourage and embrace her. Gd knew that you would gently but firmly expect excellence. And Gd knew that you would surround her with ever enduring love and strength.

Susie was joy, fun, smiles and compassion. She had the most beautiful hands. She loved the dinners we had together and laughed or "oyed" at the gossip we shared. Her interest in all the stories we told was reflected in a knowing way. She was so very special. A one of a kind.

Susie is the purest soul I have ever been in the presence of. She didn't know from jealousy or envy. No anger. Just pure joy from knowing every detail of her friends lives. She blended with Sarah and Rebekah as if they were triplets. And I will miss her every day of my life.
With love to you.

Susie,
I love you so much. I wish you knew how many people were flying in for you today from Camp Ramah and SSDS. You made everyone around you more loving. You made everyone a better person. You were my best friend for 40 years. I love you and I will share more Susie stories today. Bonny and Larry, you are incredible, and we love you beyond. May Susie Beth Barezky’s memory be a blessing.
Love,
Bekah

Bonny and Larry,
There are no words to describe the incredible loss of THE MOST SPECIAL PERSON I have ever known. From the moment we became friends 30 plus years ago, I knew Susie was one of a kind. She went through life with a smile on her face no matter what was happening and spoke only in positive words about anyone and anything she was doing. She was the true definition of a friend, always interested in other people's lives, what they are doing and how they were feeling. I'm honored not only to have known Susie but to have been such good friends with her, sharing good times together and really getting to know the amazing person she was. She will forever hold a special place in my heart. I love you all. May her memory be a blessing.

Dear Larry,and Bonnie,

I know everyone is heartbroken 💔 and Susie’s life was cut years too short. I hope you are both doing as well as you can and I am so sad about Susie. Living in Florida really made it difficult for me to come and hug and kiss you both in person. I obviously remember Susie B from Adam’s driving school where we had the most amazing laughs and probably first met. We shared Friendships with Donna, Bekka and Marissa so I was always in tune about how amazing and generous Susie and her family was. I too in my l experience have also felt a special love from the Barezky’s.
Susie’s memory is a blessing.
-love always , Aaron
