So young! Heart-felt condolences to her family and friends.
This is so tragic. … dancers are athletes too and stress their bodies in so many ways …I can’t imagine what her family is going through right now, to see such a bright future cut down … i am so sad for them and for the Decatur High School community …
This is very devastating news.. I cannot imagine how difficult this must be for the family and the entire community. My sincere condolences to her friends and family..
