Susan Torres had been diagnosed with melanoma at age 17 but since then had been told she was cancer-free. Several weeks before she lost consciousness, she complained of not feeling well but doctors said they could not find anything wrong with her and her brain tumor went undetected.

Given the advanced stage of the cancer when she first was admitted into intensive care, Susan Torres did surprisingly well, McManus said.

“Her passing is a testament to the truth that human life is a gift from God and that children are always to be fought for, even if life requires – as it did of Susan – the last full measure of devotion,” Justin Torres said at a press conference held Aug. 3 at the hospital.

McManus remarked that even though he never knew Susan before she was hospitalized he felt she was a remarkable woman.

“Take solace in the fact that she gave her life for her baby,” he said. “Thank God for giving us this new life.”

Sometimes it is very hard to accept God’s will. Someday, we will understand. I am sure her family had her baptized, don’t you think?

:gopray: May her soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
