Murder victim. A young life taken far too soon. She and her older brother Ligon were murdered by their stepmother, who was assisted by her own 15-year-old biological daughter, as an act of revenge against the children's father who was also her husband. The two had been in a tumultous marriage for several years prior to the murders. The stepmother was convicted for the murders, and ended up being abandoned by her husband and friends and was even shunned by her own biological daughter. May this beloved child rest in heavenly peace.
