So sad. Tik tok served me the video of her last moments, with hearing her voice as well - without any warning. I’ll be scarred by that for a long time I think.

was watching KABC & their copter reporter recognized something on the wreckage that identified the station, his voice cracked & it was obvious he was upset as he said ‘we’re a small community’ the station anchor took over, on their late news the anchor said their copter crew had been sent home

I'm sorry for your loss. She just looks like a sweet soul. May she RIP
