Yeardley Love's Family Issues Statement

The family of Yeardley Love issued the following statement to media outside of the Charlottesville Courthouse late Wednesday evening:

"We dread looking back on the events of May 3, 2010 and pray for the strength to get through each day. Time has not made us miss Yeardley any less, in fact quite the opposite. It is truly devastating to wake up each day and realize that she is no longer here. Yeardley's contagious smile, kind spirit and gentle touch have left this world but we know that heaven has an angel like no other. We will continue to keep her spirit alive by performing works of kindness in her name. We would like to thank the Commonwealth and particularly Dave Chapman for his tireless efforts on our behalf.

"Our hearts burst with pride when we think of Yeardley's accomplishments but our hearts melt when we remember her kindness and grace. We have received letters from so many people telling us stories of her many acts of kindness. Intelligence and athletic ability are God-given talents. Kindness and compassion are choices... choices that Yeardley made everyday without a second thought. We'd like to thank everyone for their kindness and respect of our privacy during such a difficult time."

- Sharon and Lexie Love
