22 years have passed and you are missed just as much. I thought of you often throughout the day.....friends who always remember reached out, others posted on my Facebook page. That day lives in everyone's memories...each person remembering it differently depending on how they were affected. Our family never the same. Miss you and love you.

Dear Crissie- your beautiful momma adored you. Here´s a photo of the two of you at the All Stars Project Bowlathon. She took you everywhere she went. In honor of your mother´s generous and loving memory we created the Susan Santo Volunteer Spirit Award, awarded each year to an outstanding volunteer. My heart is with you! -Mary

Another year goes by. Another year we still think of you. I finally got to make that trip to New York and find your name. But you knew that. You will never be forgotten. Always missed and always loved.

It´s been 22 years now and it still hasn´t gotten any easier. I miss my mother dearly. There´s no way to describe how I feel right now. The few little memories that I do have of my mother is going to a BNL concert, going to Florida, taking photos at the park living by my grandfather´s place at the time, and many more. I learned how to be a strong, independent women just like you. I hope your watching down every second. Please come home soon. I hate this nightmare that I am living in every single day. I MISS AND LOVE YOU!

20 Years have passed but still the memory does not fade and never will. It still does not seem real that we met you and Chrissy in Florida and then just over a week later you had been taken from this world far too early. You will always be missed and our hopes are that Chrissy is well and healthy.

Well here we are. Another year has passed. I still think of you. We all do. We all still miss you. Wow 20 years. Can it be? I can still hear you laugh. Like it was yesterday. I sure miss all those times in our little chat room. We all had so much fun. The talks, the laughter, the tears, the rants. The bonds that were formed. MIss you lots Sue. Keep watching out over everyone.

20 years. It doesn't seem possible. I think of you often. When my daughter went to NY she went to the memorial and found your name. She remembers me talking about you. I miss you Sue.

I met you the same weekend the Oliver family did. I remember when you returned to the hotel room and they had given you candy, you were so touched. My heart melted for you all the more, it was always the little things for you that meant the most.
I am so privileged to have met you. It´s been 20 years, and I miss you still.
Prayers for you and for Chrissy.

In memory of Susan (mbossy) on this 20th year...every year keeping your family and all of our Single Parenting Yahoo chat room friends in my thoughts. I am thinking of your daughter Chrissy and all of your love for her. I cannot believe that she is now a young woman...thinking about 27 years old! Chrissy, I hope you cherish all of these tributes each year in memory of your mom. I remember your love of Mike Piazza (I'm not a baseball fan, but that always stuck with me). Unfortunately, I remember the day when I found out you were there in the North building of the WTC on that horrible day 20 years ago. Even though we never met, I will still think of you each year and always make sure I look at your picture and tributes to keep you in my memory. Much love to your family.

Twenty years ago we lost our mbossy from SP1. I did not have the privilege of meeting you IRL at a Chatter party, but I can still keenly feel when Deep (Vinny) told us in chat. Our losing your bright, funny self was my ending in SP1. Every year, I think of you and all the folks we lost on 9/11/2001. Till we meet on the other side gf!! Miss you!!

One more year.....but it doesn't matter....the loss is still great. I pray every day that you know how much you are missed and how much you were loved by so many. Friends who continue to post each year describing their loss. I started work yesterday so my day was consumed by that but your loss was still felt in my heart. Miss you and love you and hope that all that we have been told is true and that we will see each other again some day.

Every year we leave a comment. Every year we cannot believe another year has passed. Every year we cannot believe this happened. And every year we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Susan.
We met Susan and Chrissy only once while we were on holiday in Florida less than two weeks before this mindless attack and she made a lasting impression on our family.
Rest in peace Susan.
We will never forget.

There are days that I still can't believe you are gone and hope that this was just a really, really bad dream. Then I wake up from it and know you are gone. You are missed every day by so many people. It fills my heart that your friends from your yahoo groups, etc., still come by here and leave a message in memory of you. RIP Suzie....love you.

It's not just this day, but most days I think about you Sus. I miss our hours long chats, busting each other's chops about our rival favorites, and naturally the classic NY/NJ debate. When I heard what happened, I ran out of work, and tried to call you. I miss you, but I know you're looking out for me. With some of the stuff that happens, i know you're up the laughing at me too haha.

In memory of Susan (mbossy), wow 17 years already! Back in the day in yahoo chat, what I remember most was how much you loved being a mom! And your love of Mike Piazza. When I found out that we lost you on that horrible day, I couldnt believe it. Every year on this day I look at posts and other information online about you. I dont always post something, but felt I needed to today. My daughters are now 23 and 25 and it hit me today that you were about their age on that day! I miss you and I know many, many loved ones do too. My prayers are with your family at this time and always.

Sixteen years, hard to believe yet I remember. I know your swimming with the dolphins, and you were such a lovely quirky soul. I miss you, because without you there would have not been a fifteen year relationship with some one VERY dear to us both. You were here such a short time, but I want you to know you made such a impact. Thank you Sue for being a blessing in my life.

It is 08:30 in the UK as I write this and the sky is clear and blue just like that horrible day 15 years ago.
We were in Florida at the time and had met you and Chrissy for the first time only 10 days previously.
We have visited the memorial site in New York twice to pay our respects and wiped the water from the fountain over your name. We plan to go again in 2017.
Always in our thoughts Susan. RIP.

Today I miss you more ... maybe it is because of the lovely tribute Vince has made in your honor. We keep you alive in our talks of you, we wonder of your beautiful daughter Chrissy whom I know you are watching over. We miss you and know some where you are swimming with the dolphins you so loved. I still have the dolphin crystal I was to mail to you .... some day. :)

When I was 13 I spent a lot of time in NHL chat rooms, and met "mbossy". Roughly 14 years later, last night in bed my thoughts randomly turned to that time and I wondered if I could find any of those old friends online now. Finding Susan was easy for the wrong reason.
I know a lot of people have probably said the same thing, but all these years later the trait that stands out the most is how much she loved her daughter, who I gather from the other comments here is Chrissy. Your mom loves you so, so much.

I am from the UK and I met Susan and Chrissy for one day only. 'Mbossy' used to chat to my uncle online and became good friends. While staying in a villa in Florida with my uncle Susan and Chrissy came to see us and meet face to face. The date was September 2 2001. Who could have believed what was about to happen so soon afterwards. Susan's parting wordsthat day was of how nice it was to meet us and a shame that we would probably not meet again. We dismissed this comment and said that we would definately meet up again. 12 years on we still feel for Susan's family, especially Chrissy who was so young at the time. I hope you are well Chrissy if you read this. The day after 9/11 my wife and I discovered we were pregnant with our one and only daughter. In October of this year we are visiting New York and have already reserved tickets to visit the 9/11 memorial to pay our respects in person. God bless you Susan, Chrissy and family. [email protected]

Sue..here i am 2013. I think about you on this day every year, but also all the days between. I have a little girl that knows all about you. I wish she could have known you because of a different reason then this. I will always keep memories of barenaked ladies, sports..aka bossy, and how much you loved your daughter.

Well the last time I wrote on here was 2002 I'm was a young lady in high school who was given your name and wanted to found out everything I could about you.I got a letter from your father and got to put a picture to the face I worried and prayed for all the time. I am now a mother and a wife my husband is in the Army and he has gone overseas six times being a military wife I think about why my husband must go and leave his family. I believe it's to honor you in my heart . May god bless your family and I will NEVER forget you

Here I am again, looking back I missed last year. I am sorry I didn't forget you, I can only assume I thought I came here and didn't. The summer Olympics were on this year, I always remember we watched them while in Chat. We made so many people mad with USA USA USA all over the place and you told them if they didn't like it that could put us on ignore because we were not stopping. I think about your daughter, brother and dad often.

Ten years and I am here again. I was thinking about you were gone before you knew Mike and I had a little girl; Abby. We talk about you so often that she was able to talk to her 3rd grade class about you. I tell new friends about you and old friends I haven't seen in 20 years. I will always keep your memory alive. Miss you

It has been seven years and you are missed more each passing year. I thought of you while I watched the Olympics a few weeks ago and what you would think about the Chinese Gymnasts who looked to be nine years old. I will carry that memory of you & I watching the olympics (together yet being 300 miles apart)while we talked on the computer. I think about how "lil Bossy" is..I will always remember you and wish we would have had more talks.

Well here we all are again another year and still feels like yesterday. I was in my car a few days ago when a BNL song came on, my husband (I never got to tell you I married "soul") we looked at each other and said Sue. There isn't a week that goes by I don't think of you and your family. Little bossy I am sure you are a beautifull young lady like your mom. I remember one of our last "talks" together, how you told me you were worried your daughter would end up like you, without a mom. I told you not to think like that, you were young and had years with her. To Sue's family I often wonder about you all and hope you all are doing well and know many people knew what a wonderful person she was and how loved she is.
