My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy, especially the family and friends of Haley Winner, it’s a heartbreaking reminder that we never know what someone is going through behind closed doors, and I’m so grateful for the courage of the parents who shared their story to help others find hope and to remember that it’s okay to not be okay, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. My heart is very heavy. my son Ryder knew her since Eisenhower.

Likewise, her close family member also paid heartfelt tribute, saying:

Our family has lost a beautiful and loving young lady and we are all still in shock. Haley was an absolute angel and I can’t believe she’s gone. We would love all the support possible in this tough time, but if anything sending your love and prayers is much appreciated.
