“She was more than an 18-year-old graduating high school; she was a beautiful, young, talented girl,” Muth’s statement. “She knew just the right words to say and when to say them. She had a scholarship to attend Oklahoma State University, which she couldn’t wait to attend, even if her bubs said to rethink it.”
“She wanted to be a pediatrician,” the statement added. “All she ever wanted was to help the ones who needed the help. She always made everyone smile and happy. She didn’t see life like everyone else. She saw the bright light in the pitch black dark.”
