She added that she believes Vos deserves everything that is coming for him.
“You took that woman away from all of us. A mother, a daughter, a sister, a best friend, you took her away from all of us,” she said.
Family and friends set up a GoFundMe account to help with funeral expenses and for the two children she is leaving behind.
