"She showed them the opportunities they have if they work hard and if they are disciplined,” Larkin-Landers said. “The biggest thing is she showed them that is a reality. Because if it's a reality for her, it's a reality for them as well.""As much as we'll miss her, her legacy here at Duncanville will continue to live on," Larkin-Landers said.
