What a tragedy for the innocent victims lives to be cut short by someone who claimed to love them. Rest in peace.

I will miss you forever. You were a beautiful baby girl and I wanted you to be happy. You deserved the world and I am so sorry this is how it ended. You were a beautiful sister to my sister and I wish I could have been there for you.
