On Aug. 5, nine of her family members died after their SUV went off the road and into a canal near Belle Glade.
The victims were identified as 57-year-old Pamela Wiggins, who was the driver, 30-year-old Leiana Alyse Hall, 21-year-old Anyia Monique Lee Tucker, 14-year-old Michael Anthony Hall Jr., 8-year-old Imani Andre Ajani Hall, 5-year-olds Kamdien Edwards and Yasire Smith, 3-year-old Ziaire Mack, and 1-year-old Naleia Tucker.
The only survivor was 26-year-old Jorden Hall. The family said he had tried to rescue the others from the water but couldn't.

One of the victims was Antianette's son and only child: Kamdien Edwards-Raynor.
"He was funny. He was a daredevil even though he was small," she said. ".... I just laid in the bed, crying and cried until I fell asleep. And that was 6 in the morning. I cried myself to sleep."
She thought the pain couldn’t get worse until she got a call last week. Her sister, 42-year-old Andrea Edwards, died on Sept. 10.
"We just lost nine. And then lose another one on top of that," Antianette said.
Family members believe Andrea died after having a seizure but Antianette believes it was from a broken heart.
Two of the nine victims were Andrea’s 21-year-old daughter Anyia and her one-year-old granddaughter, Naleia.
"She said her heart was so broken," Antianette said. "She didn’t know how to deal with the reality of it."
The family has had three funerals in the last few weeks and now has to plan a fourth. They set up a GoFundMe to support Andrea's funeral.
"It’s too much. It’s too much," Antianette said.
