In all the copy represented by the excerpt dots I did not see any indication that she was a Christian. A do-gooder, absolutely, deserving of praise for helping others. I hope that she was saved so her works will not be for naught.
Prayers that her family and friends be comforted.
Say what you will about her, but she sure walked the talk. Some of those causes look worthwhile and her work may have genuinely helped people in dire need. Too bad she was still so naive to put herself into serious harm’s way.
I would not have wished her to die, or anyone else this way.
It does seem that she was proven wrong about these people however.
She thought, If we just show them love.... She got their version.
