LAS VEGAS ( FOX5 ) — Not a day goes by that Lana Gruell doesn’t miss her daughter, Cashleigh.

She constantly admires the young creative’s art around the house.

“She was artistic and was a self-taught artist,” Gruell said. “She was very empathetic. One of those people, when she met someone who needed help, she was drawn to them.”

Gruell shared plenty of stories about Cashleigh. In the second grade, she helped a classmate with Tourette’s Syndrome get their homework done. She described being incredibly close to her youngest daughter, which made losing her that much more painful.

“It was a huge blow to me and to our family,” Gruell said. “Everybody kind of revolved around her from the day she was born. When that’s missing, it just changes the entire dynamic of everything.”
