There are many things about this case we do not know, but perhaps what has gotten most lost in the noise is Suzanne herself and what she was like outside of being a statistic.

KSAT reached out to her 20-year-old daughter to ask what her favorite memories were with Suzanne. She gave us a list of things she missed about her mom:

  • I miss her bright smile
  • Her impeccable meatloaf
  • Her ability to converse with any and everyone
  • Her selflessness and pursuit to always put others first
  • Her positivity, in pursuit of always seeing the flowers among the garbage
  • Her devotion as a mother, wife, and best friend
  • Her outstanding career as a real estate agent
  • Her total lack of driver safety😹
  • Her light-hearted attitude towards disappointment
  • Her maternal superpowers, always being able to juggle multiple conversations at once
  • Her willingness to let me be my own person
  • Her endless support in me following my dreams and passion
  • Her dorky dance moves
  • Her singing her favorite song, “Fireworks” by Katy Perry
  • Her microwave Indian dinners
  • Her love for Chris Madrid’s
  • Her endless love for our family and her children

Additionally, she said, “I’d like to say thank you to the community for sending love and prayers through Mealtrain, I appreciate any and all who are devoted to spreading the voice of my mother and shining light on awareness for domestic violence victims. Her story will never be forgotten as we continue to honor her in our lives forever. As for my siblings and our well being, everyday is a struggle, I am not here to say it is easy or that we are not in pain. We are. What keeps us alive is the thoughts, memories and prayers of my mother.”
