I just really felt like she had reached inside of me and had broken through this thick crust of numbness that I was feeling for so many years after Nathalie’s murder.” “I remember we got along so well,” Hopkins said. “I felt I was gaining an older sister. I looked up to her and respected her, and loved her so much.”
