"One minute, I’m crying. The next minute, I think about her happiness, I get happy the next minute, I might be crying again," Galloway said.

Galloway is grieving the loss of her 17-year-old daughter Laurynn Galloway, a bright light in her life

"She was a live wire since birth. Always happy, family-oriented, if you would have met her you was going to be auntie," said Galloway. "She was always happy, she loved to party, she loved music, she loved to rap. Since I can’t touch her anymore every day, I want to hear her music or listen to her videos.
