Just days before coming to terms with her and her children’s deaths, Means marveled at her daughter and wrote online that she was beautiful.
On October 14, Means expressed regret that she and her daughter’s father were no longer together.

“I need all the positive energy I can get,” the mother added.
On October 11, Means published a post that read, “I just want to become a calm woman when it comes to any situation. My biggest goal is calmness right now.
“I’m so tired of the irritation, anger, sadness and rage.”

“Everyone, please leave me alone. I’m in love with my daughter daddy,” she wrote.
‘I want my family back. With respect [I don’t care] what I said about him before or what anyone else thinks.”
