Xana Kernodle’s sister says her story lives on
Xana Kernodle’s sister, Jazzmin Kernodle, said in court she was unsure if she'd speak today. "In the end, I realized this moment isn't about you -- it's about justice for Xana, Ethan, Kaylee and Maddie," she said.

She called her sister "a gift to each person she was able to make an impact on."
Xana Kernodle was the younger sister, but Jazzmin Kernodle said she often found herself looking up to her.
"Xana was someone I turned to when I needed direction or advice," she said.

"She truly did live every day to the fullest. Yet her story was cut short by an act of evil," she said. "She won't be the maid of honor at my wedding, the cool aunt to my future children. ... But I will carry her with me for the rest of my life. I will live in her honor, fight to be the best kind of woman, someone she's proud of."
"Xana's story doesn't end with what was taken from her. It lives through the love she gave the people she touched and the legacy her family will protect," she said.
