Victim of I-35 bridge collapse in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Sadiya Sahal and her daughter, Hana were traveling from St. Paul to meet a friend when she called family members to say she was in bumper-to-bumper traffic. That was the last anyone heard from her. Sahal was five months pregnant, expecting her second child with husband Mohamed Sahal.
Naomi Ryman only knew Sadiya Sahal for the eight weeks she taught her nursing-assistant classes at the International Institute. She beamed at the June 16 graduation, which little Hana attended.
"She was a confident, bright, friendly and often smiling young woman who seemed to be able to negotiate well between both cultures," Ryman said.
Sahal had immigrated from Somalia in 2000, graduated from Washburn High School in south Minneapolis and become a U.S. citizen last year.
Ryman has a handwritten essay Sahal wrote in February that talked about how happy she was to have her driver's license and a car with which to give rides.
"Her paragraph read: 'I am going to get a lot of opportunity in the United States, such as education, peace and better life. I am very happy.'
Cause of death was blunt-force injuries.
