She was immensely encouraged by the love of her family, friends and those she had yet to meet.” Remembering Suzanne Whang Suzanne Whang / Shea Walsh / AP Images for Sue Wong Whang's partner, Vezain, continues on to thank fans for their support and condolences. “Your kind, loving messages always lifted her spirits. I know she would prefer that her life be celebrated, as opposed to her passing mourned, but I also know how vehemently she disagreed with anyone being told, ‘Don’t cry.’ So…cry if you will. I’ve been crying a LOT! And laughing…and everything in between. It’s all part of life, but laughter was a staple of our dynamic.” He continues, “We have appreciated all of the kind words and memories shared on her Facebook page. It has brought much comfort. As I say good bye to a soul who was more than a true love, but also a best friend and an intellectual and spiritual book-end, know that we may not be able to respond to queries, but will try to keep you updated.” HGTV releases a statement in light of her death Suzanne Whang and Jeff Vezain / Zimbio HGTV also releases a statement in light of Whang's passing. “Suzanne was warm, funny and kind with a distinctive voice that made everyone feel at home.
