"I saw that side of her," 'says Simpkins. "Others didn't. It's hard to see someone so full of life and wrap your head around the fact they could be suffering. But people choose what they want to share."
When Kryst was growing up in North Carolina, the "high-achieving part was always there," Simpkins says of her daughter, the second of four children from her first marriage to Rodney Kryst.
