Murder victim. A young life taken far too soon. While her parents were away from home, she and her sisters Bridget and Katie were murdered by their 11-year-old eldest sister Mary, who attempted to also murder their last surviving sister, eight-year-old Maggie, but failed. Mary ended up committing suicide a week after her failed attempt on Maggie's life to avoid being arrested for her crimes. May this beloved child rest in heavenly peace.
