She loved her work deeply and treated every child as her own. Her legacy will live on in the lives she touched and the countless hearts she inspired through her bravery and kindness.
As the investigation into the incident continues, authorities are urging anyone facing danger or domestic conflict to seek help and utilize available community resources. They emphasize that tragedies like this highlight the urgent need for awareness, intervention, and support for those in unsafe situations — before they escalate to devastating outcomes.
