"Trying to be strong for my uncles, my momma, my grandma, my family but we all are holding up," Brown said. "I don’t want her to be remembered like that. Want them to remember the good Sandra Nicole. Who she was as a person, rather than the last image."
Brown emphasized that both families are hurting.
"Sorry for all families," she said. "Not just my family is affected, his family is affected also."
Brown said her family will continue to push for Lee to be remembered for her life, not the violence that ended it.
