On May 27, 2018 the world lost a superhero. Suzanne Pickering was 36 years old. A fiancé to Tim McEllroy, a mother to Maddie (16 years old) and her superhero son Landon (9 years old). 

This GoFundMe campaign is to help her beautiful family with the burial costs for Suzanne and any remaining dollars to start a college fund for their daughter Maddie and continued care for their son Landon. 

I am at a loss of words right now. Suzanne was not only my best friend but also my cousin. 

Below is a message from her fiancé Tim. 

“This will be the hardest thing I've ever had to write on Facebook. I've spent 18 1/2 years of my life devoted to the most beautiful woman, with the most beautiful soul I've ever seen. We have two beautiful children who have been raised knowing that love is always the most important thing. We knew from day one we would grow old together, and we never wanted anything more than just to have each other and watch our children grow up. My dream is shattered and my heart is gone. Suzanne Pickering passed away yesterday afternoon surrounded by family and loved ones. The auto-immune disease that started all these issues led to two liver transplants as many of you know. After rejecting the first transplant, her body seemed to be doing very well with the second for about a year. Then within the last few months things started to go downhill. The doctors tried to maintain her levels with medications and constant blood work. They finally decided it was time for her to come in for an evaluation. Her body was rejecting this liver as well. She went through all the testing and was ready to be listed for another transpant but before any surgery could be done her kidneys began to fail. Within the last 3-4 days her organ failures started causing an infection in her lungs. We stayed with her night after night hoping things would turn around, but yesterday the doctors informed us there was nothing more they could do. Even after Suzie first got sick, I just never thought this would happen. She was always so strong and so happy. She fought so damn hard. I'll never understand it and I feel like I'm in a nightmare I can't wake up from. I didn't really want to say much here in Facebook but I know a lot of you who don't already know would want to know because you loved her too. Suzanne, Suzie, my sweet sweet angel. I'll love you forever. I'll remember your smile and your laugh. The way your skin felt, the way you held my hand. The way you loved our kids and always put us first. I'll remember how happy and how positive you stayed even though our son was going through hell with his health. You never let me get too down, you always reminded me that it would be okay. Even after you got sick, you were all about love, life, and family. You didn't let it tear you down. You were just the beautiful person you've always been. I don't know how I'm gonna do this babe, but for you I'm gonna try my hardest. Thank you for our two beautiful children. Thank you for being the greatest mother I've ever known. Thank you for being the brightest light I've ever had in my own dark world. You were all there was for me. I love you and I'll love you forever. I miss you.”
❤️ Tim.
