Her family expressed their heartbreak over not being able to help her, urging a collective responsibility to protect and support vulnerable youths and highlight the importance of seeking help.
"Sophie was a kind and trusting girl. Often this left her open to being taken advantage of by others. She wrote and drew voraciously and much of this art depicts the depth she had and it also represents the pain she suffered."
