R.I.P. Tina Susco. You are finally free.

I am sad to hear it. Hope her children will be all right.

Tina really had it together. For a woman who was married and divorced twice, and had kids spanning both husbands, she was able to balance her life as a full time maternity nurse in a busy NY hospital. She had a very strong network of family and friends. She was highly intelligent, with a huge heart. She really had no enemies, and her friends wonder how a single mother could balance so much, making things work so well for her children. In the end, she did what she had to do to protect her children from such an animal. She is a hero. And her kids will have one heck of a guardian angel. As her oldest daughter said just today,

"You were my life and I know we were yours too. You were more than a mother to me you were like my best friend..."

PS: that said, the community outcry and heartbreak is warranted. No reason those kids should have to live their life without their mom. We hope and pray the police take their time... dot their i's, and cross their t's. Because the animal that did this deserves no plea bargain. May he rot in the bottom cellars of Hell.
