It kept progressing. Each thing that he would do just kept getting worse. And after this point, framing her and she didn't get arrested, I thought, well, what else is there to do besides kill her?

My first thoughts were if he's going to kill Willow.

I knew immediately it was Andrew Beard. I knew that the only person I could think that would want her dead was Andrew Beard.

Ugly. Fat. A bad mom. All things that she wasn't. And... Baby mama was my sister's contact name and Holly's phone.

Jealousy.

She wanted Willow.

No, no, no. Oh, you have some on your stomach?

How would they even think someone else did that to her? Because they're going downwards like your own hand did it.

The lanterns, that was, I think, one of my favorite things that we did.

What is that? Balloon. I thought we were never going to see that happen. I felt relief.

I was thrilled but heartbroken at the same time. I'm so happy that Alyssa's getting the justice she deserved, but at that point, it's over. Our fight is over.

We don't get to live the normal life anymore. It was always me and her, my best friend. Like, that was my person. And only getting to be with her for 20 years, that's not, just not fair.

Just looking at the two of them, you could tell that their relationship was, I mean, everything. I always love how she's looking at her in this picture.

Willow clung to her every second of every day, and I think that tells you a lot about the mother Alyssa was.

I think everything she did at that point in her life was for Willow. She wanted to be successful for Willow. She didn't want Willow to grow up and struggle. She just wanted Willow to have an easy life.

She was terrified. Willow, at this point, was the most important thing in her life. And when she, you know, looked at the bigger picture, Andrew, he made more money than her. You know, he had a house. He had all the nice things that she didn't have. So she was afraid that, you know, he wanted Willow and he was going to get her.

Mother of Willow Ann. I hope that when she learns what happened, she doesn't let it tear her apart.

I guess hopeful that Holly would help this situation, that Holly would be supportive of the mother that's involved.
