I never thought celebrities cared for anyone but themselves and those who are in the elite circle, until i met Suzanne though her live video postings. Rest in peace, Suzanne
And take good care of yourself too, Al, especially in these difficult times.

ALAN, CAROLINE, BRUCE, VIOLET and all the REST OF THE FAMILY. I have seen your posts online since this tragic event occurred and I must say. My heart pulsates for you all. No one can tell you how to grieve. It is something that has to be intricately approached.

CAROLINE. I see that your way to cope is by cooking and I encourage you to do continue to do that. I hope it will be a calming factor in your world going forward as well. You seemed to be very gifted with it the other day when you and Bruce went out to Alans place. I also want to say you please shrug all of the ill timed comments off of your shoulders. You did what you knew was in her best wishes to honor her with the time she had left and that is all that anyone should be asking of you. At the end of the day. You did what was right and no one can take that away from you. Suzanne was pleased with how you handled the business side of things while she needed time away. I kind of knew something was amiss when one day yall announced that Alana and her were just adjusting to their new home and they just needed some time to themselves. I said to myself something isnt adding up. This was over the summer months. After you said that I then saw a disappointed look on your face like you knew something more harder to admit was taking place but I admire the way you pulled it together and made the best of your broadcast that day highlighting some of Suzannes products especially the gut renew. You were probably the most valuable daughter in law anyone could every wish for. Youre going over and beyond measure to show how much your love for the family is sincere. I wish you nothing but the best of all success from here on out. I know you are more than able to deal with the nasty comments that might lurk from trolls online.

BRUCE. The son that you were to Suzanne goes beyond reason. You yourself have transformed into a shining example of what a gracious son is supposed to be. Coming back from a head trauma from an accident when you were just a kid and now leading a great example of a family man and successful business consultant is testament to how great a job Suzanne did as a mother. You were her best accomplishment of all the accomplishments she left behind. If moments come where you have to just take a ride or a walk to yourself during the days where the sun shines bright on the landscape and with the stillness of the holiday season coming around, by all means, stop whatever you are doing and do it for yourself because you know you need that alone time and everyone should be very understanding of when you want to indulge in that. You had her in your life longer than anyone else and you still want to connect and its necessary for you to do that.

FINALLY ALAN..The love of two kindred spirits goes deeper than what anyone can put into words. I dont thing your love story ended with Suzannes passing so when 47 years anniversary comes to fruition It is my hope and dream that you will celebrate that with a connection to her that will warm your heart. You showed this woman a side of the human equation she probably thought was not achievable at the time. You changed the course of her troubles and you brought sustainable growth and success into her world. Every time you think of her a smile should come to your face because you made her smiles possible. Yalls hearts probably beat the same rhythm and you both probably had the same growl and same smirk. It was priceless how both of you made an influence on each others lives that will no doubt continue to stand the test of time. If you need a moment to reflect on a beautiful memory by all means do so and if there are favorite hobbies you want to engage in that you hadnt done at some point, by all means pursue them. Just know that while trying these new things, you still have done what others in this world wish they could do and that is bring 46 to 55 years of joy to a love that was meant to be since you and her were born. You were born to meet and you did just that and your love story continues.

FInally I know you all must be wondering who is this bozo well my name is John Griffin. I lost two aunts to horrific double homicide on Wednesday October 9, 2019. I know a thing or two about loss but unlike either of you neither of these women were my mom or my wife but they still had an impact on my life that has truly changed the course of it since they were stabbed to death. Now it is my mission to reach out to anyone else that is bereaved who seem to be coming to terms with it. So i hope the words I have imparted in this post have some kind of meaning to you and if they do please write back to me at jcextra123@gmail.com whenever you can. May God continue to bless and keep you healthy and strong.

My sincere condolences to the family. I have followed Suzanne for many years. I went to one of her seminars, and when I saw her in person, I thought what a beauty! I have several of her books, her products from HSN. Her tulip ramekins. Just a lot of her products.
I knew it had to be bad when she stopped appearing on her lives. But didn’t expect her leaving. She was brilliant and I am so glad the world got to see that. I know how much she is missed, but not as great as you all are.
Time will heal as they say but she will never be forgotten!
I adored her and Alan and the family! God blessed all of us with her presence. I am happy you are taking shifts for Al, keep it up. A lot of times people are there at the beginning but as time goes on it dwindles and it is then when reality hits. But I know how close you are that won’t happen.
God bless all of you I know it has to be a huge void.
Love you Suzanne rest now, no more pain…❤️

Suzanne was so kind and genuine…she always made me feel so good when she did her on air live sessions. I prayed that she would be completely healed from this hideous disease. When I heard she passed my heart sank…first thing I thought of was Alan and how he must be doing. She was his other half his soul mate. Thank God they had many beautiful years together…some people like myself never find that! Sending you all my love and please remember to watch for her “signs” as she will let you know she is always around you ❤️ xo

I was born in Winnipeg 1960. My dad worked for the CN Police Alan. That’s why I enjoyed listening to you talk about the frigid nights at Portage and Main. Dad walked the train yards on night shift when it was -35C checking train cars.
12 years old: I’m watching either Mike Douglas or Merv Griffin in the afternoon and they introduce a guest who will do a cooking segment. Out walks this beautiful blonde lady. She has a mass of hair with 2 ponytails on top. As a little girl I am in awe. She looks like my Barbie. I watch her every move. She has a beautiful smile and is such a cheerful lady. I remember her name and tuck it away hoping I never forget her.
A few years later this beautiful lady I remember shows up on a sitcom entitled Threes Company. That’s her! That’s the beautiful lady I saw years ago. I now am old enough to remember her name. I watch her every week and I become a Suzanne Somers fan.
Then she gets fired and I’m devastated that I will never see her again but wait…
She shows up on another sitcom with that guy who was on Dallas. She is even more beautiful.
I discover She rights books and I snatch them up so I can just look at her pictures and cook the same food she does.
I’m now married and living in Vancouver. Guess who shows up on The Shopping Channel? It’s Suzanne. I watch every episode still inspired and in awe of her beauty. I tape shows I’m not home to watch. I love when Alan joins her on the set. They are so funny and cute together.
Years later I am now living in Saskatchewan raising Texas Longhorns on a farm with my husband and nursing. I still watch Suzanne on The Shopping Chanel and buy the abdomen master? I think it was called. Now that I’m on the farm I am even more busy cooking her recipes because of the large garden I have. I fancy myself a Suzanne Somers.
We go on vacation to Atlanta. I am in our hotel bathroom and catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and think, I look tired and aged. When I get home I decide I need to try Suzanne’s Facemaster. 12 years later I am still using it daily. I love the results. Thankyou Suzanne.
Then I read Suzanne has breast cancer. I’m devastated. All the women I admired along with Suzanne have died. Princess Diana, Caroline Bessette Kennedy..and now I’m going to lose Suzanne. But I don’t, she’s a fighter.
Now I’m 48 and I’m suffering severely from peri menopause. Suzanne introduces her books on this topic as well as something called BioIdentical Hormones. I immerse myself in all her books and become proud of being at this age because my Spirit Animal Suzanne has gone through what I am. When I go to see my Drs.and they ask what my symptoms are, I reply Itchy, Bitchy, Sweaty, Sleepy, Bloated, Forgetful and All Dried up. The Seven Dwarfs of menopause. My Dr agrees with Bioidenticals and off I go to a compounding Pharmacist and voila, I feel wonderful. I share her books and her knowledge with all my fellow nurses who are also going through menopause. Suzanne is always part of our conversations. And then even Samantha Jones brags about her bioidentical hormones and Suzanne’s book when she’s with her friends Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte. I mean how cool is that!!
I survived menopause . Thankyou my dear Suzanne.
I’m now retired and back in Winnipeg.
I lose my dad in 2017 and weeks before the world shuts down in 2020 I lose my mom.
I’m sad, I’m scared, I can’t see my friends or family. It’s my hubby and dog and I. But wait, what is this? A podcast from Suzanne Somers home up to 3 times a week? It’s a place I can go and escape all that is bad in the world because that is just the type of person Suzanne is. Perpetually happy, optimistic, faithful, loving, open. She makes you feel like she is your best friend. I love joining her and Alan at Big Al’s Bar and laughing and forgetting all my worries and negativity . I feel part of her family as we get to know her son, daughter in law, grandchildren and Alan’s family. All of them so nice and funny. Alan and Suzanne are never without a story to tell. Their lives have been so interesting. I don’t pour a tequila, but to this day I’m hooked on olive pate, goat cheese on crackers. I look forward to every episode and love her and Caroline’s cooking shows.
And then she has a fall. I watch her health decline. They sell their beautiful compound and move to a new house. As a nurse I can see that there is something not right with Suzanne but I hope I’m wrong. Then they talk about picking out their grave plots one day. Oh oh. We see less and less of Suzanne and Alan. Then thus spring at a family party I’m devastated to see my beautiful Suzanne. I know there is something seriously wrong and when she mentions Car T I get a knot in my stomach. We don’t see Alan or Suzanne anymore. Caroline and Bruce are filling in. I dread that a day is coming I don’t want to face.
I’m sitting in the living room and my husband is looking at his phone and says “did Suzanne Somers die? Someone has posted RIP”
I start crying. I feel I have lost my best friend. I feel like I know Alan and Suzanne like they are family. They ARE family. That was and is their special gift.
I’m 63. I gave known Suzanne since I was 12 staring at that TV screen in awe. She has been there for me through good, bad and menopause times. Helped me through it all.
Thankyou my love. My dear Suzanne Somers.
I quote from Pastor Bobby Schuller my favorite Blessing
IM NOT WHAT I HAVE
IM NOT WHAT I DO
IM NOT WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ME
I AM THE BELOVED OF GOD
ITS WHO I AM
NOONE CAN TAKE IT FROM ME
I DONT HAVE TO WORRY
I DONT HAVE TO HURRY
I CAN TRUST MY FRIEND JESUS
AND SHARE HIS LOVE WITH THE WORLD.
God Bless you Alan and family
