"My daughter was very outspoken. She was very loving," said Miranda's mother, Sharon Norman, "My grandkids… They were my heart. Every time the door comes open, I just think that’s them coming in the house... but they’re not."
Norman says, the last thing she told her daughter was, 'I love you.'
"Me and my children, ever since they were growing up, we always said before we leave home or leaving each other, that we love each other," she said, "That’s the last thing that I said to my daughter that morning. She said I love you and I said I love you too."
The deadly accident happened before 8 a.m. on US-421 north near Highway 62 and included three vehicles, NCSHP says.
Representatives with the Guilford County Schools district said Ariyana attended Vandalia Elementary and Zyilyan attended Southeast Guilford Middle School.
