What I just want you to know is she’s so special.
[She was] super, super smart. She was so, so selfless. … For 10 years [after getting married], she didn’t go on a honeymoon because all she did was work, work, work, work. She wanted to change the world and she could have. She really could have.
— Jessica Haynes, in comments given to People, on her younger sister, Sarah Lee Best, 33, who died in the D.C. plane crash last month. Best was a litigation associate at boutique firm Wilkinson Stekloff. Haynes said that through her work, Best “wanted to speak for those who had no voice, especially in education and immigration.”
