    She was the first family member of a murder victim to speak at a parole hearing.
    She confronted her daughter’s killers face to face at parole hearings, determined to keep them behind bars.
    Her surviving daughters continued her work after she died from a brain tumor.
    She spoke to prisoners who she felt could be rehabilitated, hoping to convince them to not commit any more violent crimes.
