Kayla Mueller, the American ISIS hostage kidnapped in August 2013, is dead according to a statement from her family released Tuesday. A letter also released by the Mueller family focuses on how they plan to carry on, despite the loss of their only daughter.
Notes of condolences were also released from President Barack Obama, Sen. John McCain, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, Secretary of State John Kerry, and other politicians.
It was Kayla who had the last word, though.
I have come to a place in experience where, in every sense of the word, I have surrendered myself to our creator b/c literally there was no else…+ by God + by your prayers I have felt myself tenderly cradled in freefall.
