Suzette : It happened pretty much like the movie . She was watching my dad teach Abe and the she started to sing and the rest was history .
Latin Times Magazine : How do you think she felt when she was on stage ? Suzette : She loved it , she was in control and she let herself feel and become what she sang . She used to say it was like a natural high , a feeling you can ’ t quite describe .
Latin Times Magazine : How did you feel about Jennifer Lopez ’ s portrayal of SELENA in the Movie ? Suzette : I felt she did a great job . I ’ m proud of the entire cast , they worked very hard on the movie and I wish much more continued success for her .

Latin Times Magazine : In your opinion , did the movie accurately capture the life of SELENA ? Suzette : A lot of people ask us that and I would have to say yes , although it ’ s very difficult to put 23 years of your life into 2 hours and 10 minutes of time .
Latin Times Magazine : In your opinion , what makes SELENA a Hero not only to Latinos but also to the world ? Suzette : I am honored at the fact that you see her as a HERO , Thank you ! I feel the world can connect with her , and my family because we are simple people who like everyone else had a dream and passionately pursued it .
Latin Times Magazine : After her death , how has the family coped with her loss ? Suzette : It has been a long difficult journey without her . Our heart aches for her ; there is a constant emptiness we feel . But through our belief in Jehovah God we draw our strength . Just like everyone else who has lost a loved one knows that time does heal , not that you ever forget , but you learn how to live life again somehow .
In closing , I asked Suzette one last question .
Latin Times Magazine : If you could speak to SELENA one last time , what would you say to her ? Suzette : If I could speak to her again , I would tell her that I miss her so much and I would probably just hold her and never let her go .
