Very sad. My daughter heard the news this morning as she was preparing to take a final and was devastated. Condolences to the Wallace family, her coworkers, and all of her current and former students.

Just Heartbreaking! I was at ASU when this took place and remember the major story. To see what she has done with her story and the inspiration she has given, what a life well lived!

I knew her in school as well before and after her attack. Not only was she a dedicated athlete, she was a very determined and strong young lady. Heartwarming to know she was giving back to the community as a coach and teacher at WHS.
