Friend of survivor: "She is superwoman" | Forensic Files

anybody that doesn't know her the way I do is flabbergasted when they hear even a part of what Victoria has been through
even pieces of it she was emotionally dead and but now looking back I think that it's made
her stronger she is superwoman I think that if she hadn't gone through what she'd gone through she
wouldn't be who she is today she's amazing and she still smiles and goes places and it doesn't seem humanly
possible that someone could have had this many things happen and still laugh and joke around
and you know have phone conversations and just live a normal life but she does she's a great mom and all
those babies are lucky to have her and she's never kept it from them and everything that Victoria's been
through has made her stronger her family stronger her children stronger it's a wonderful
family and we still have a wonderful relationship majority of what we talk about 90% is positive we still talk
every day you know we will laugh sometimes on the phone so hard that neither of us can breathe you know we
have like these inside jokes and I look forward to talking to her I hope Victoria
knows what an inspiration she is to so so many people people need to look to her and think look what she did if she
can do it I can do it
