Leave Your Tribute

(This is what I wrote in my personal journal the day Suzanne passed)

I jokingly call Suzanne Somers my “online BFF”. I felt like I knew her so well. I’m sure everyone that followed her closely felt the same way. She never held back about her life, her struggles, her heartaches and she definitely put herself out there to help all of us girls with our health, feeling beautiful and sexy, treating our husbands with patience and adoration, being a gracious hostess, loving our God and our country but most of all how to forgive others who have hurt you deeply and to love the ones in your life BIG! She poured her life into 25 books. I’ve read almost all of them. Her very first book of poetry has been out of print and I heard I might be getting it for Christmas. 🤗 When I read her autobiography, “Keeping Secrets”, I cried. She has endured so much in her lifetime but she teaches us that we are resilient! We can reinvent ourselves no matter the obstacle. And most of all how to forgive. Late 90’s, after the urging from a mentor of mine I picked up “Eat Great Lose Weight”. I read it cover to cover. What Suzanne was saying made perfect sense to me. She was SUCH a pioneer in the alternative health field. I started buying all her books, watching her on HSN talk about all kinds of things; cooking, fashion, beauty, hormones, etc… I was such a huge fan and own so much SS stuff! I even go to her Energy Med Doc that she recommends, Dr. Gallitzer, here in LA. When Covid hit, Suzanne decided to do “Live” cocktail hour on her FB and Insta every Wednesday night at 5:00. Jay and I joined in with thousands of others. We all dressed up (for our spouse) fixed delicious charcuterie and a cocktail. It was so fun hearing her and Alan banter back and forth, talk about so many interesting and random subjects, also the many stories of old Hollywood back in the day. She had stories on everyone! But what was so beautiful was how she and Alan modeled a loving marriage to everyone. They truly were role models in this area. We got to watch as they built their beautiful new home in Palm Springs and hear all the details of it. We were with her in her beautiful ocean front home in Malibu and even the sell of it. She was so very transparent about everything! She had a quick wit and would make us all laugh. We knew all of her family. We were there for holidays, birthdays, got all the deets on trips, everyday life, she’d even cook for us. She taught me how to make an amazing roast chicken, as well as so many other delicious recipes. The way she opened up her life to all of us was truly remarkable! No other celebrity has ever done this nor I doubt ever will. Thus proves how Suzanne was a pioneer on SO many fronts!
When Alan announced that her cancer had returned after 20 years I feared in my heart that sweet Suzanne, who’d we’d grown to love, might not beat this one. She was definitely a mentor to me, even though I’d never met her. Strange I know! I will miss my “online BFF” so much! She lived well and influenced thousands of people especially me! At the end of every LIVE show Suzanne would say, “It’s not who you are. It’s not what you have. It’s not what you do. It’s only about who you love and who loves you…and I love you.” – Suzanne Somers
Rest well my sweet friend. I look forward to meeting you in heaven!

This lady was a inspiration to me for many years! Saw her at the Valley forge music fair in 1980 with Bob Hope. I have supported her with her books, products through the years. Her husband Alan reminded of my Dad as her cheerleader through her cancer battle as my dad was my mom’s cheerleader. I just lost my dad a month ago. ❤️💔 RIP. We all need support and cheerleaders.
