Look toward her middle name.

On a February day in 2024, in Athens, Georgia, Laken Reilly was brutally struck down for no reason by a monster. 

Laken was a nursing student.

We will never know now how many patients she would have helped had she been allowed simply to live her life.

She has left us too soon at 22 years of age.

She has left us with just a glimpse of her promising future.

She has left us with her middle name:  Hope.

Laken Hope Reilly.
