Poetic Obituaries: [Alamin] Bakr's daughter, Chonnell Drinker, 14,

suffered severe injuries that left her brain-dead. The family made the decision on Saturday to take Drinker off life support.

"When I walked in the room to visit her that day and saw her eyes were open but there was nothing behind them, that was very hurtful. And just to see her body deteriorate the way it was, that was hard to do," Bakr said. "My baby was so creative. She loved to draw. She wanted to have her own clothes line. She was very artistic and she would just draw clothes, write poems. She loved to look pretty."
