Aiexpress – On February 17, when conducting a welfare check, police found Patrina Best, 38, and pronounced her dead at the scene.
Carl Kearney, Jr., a 43-year-old high school football coach, has been charged with murder in Maryland. He voluntarily turned himself in to the Prince George’s County Police Department.
The news of Best’s passing elicited an outpouring of tributes and condolences on social media. Best had pursued a career in healthcare, studying Kinesiology and Exercise Science at Georgia Southern University and eventually becoming an operating room nurse.
Nina Patrice, Best’s sibling, expressed her deepest sentiments with a heartfelt tribute. She fondly described her sister as someone who was not only radiant and beautiful on the outside but also on the inside.
“My best friend from the very beginning,” Nina wrote, reflecting on the special bond she had with her beloved companion. She fondly remembers the warmth and inviting nature of her friend’s smile, a smile that will be dearly missed for the rest of her days.
“She kept us all laughing and brought so much joy. She was kind and thoughtful and all the things you could want from a sister. A true friend to all that knew her. And the lives she touched as a nurse are innumerable.”
Arrangements for the funeral services were still pending.
Nina expresses her admiration for her extraordinary sister, emphasizing that there is so much she could say about her.
“She was taken from us far too soon and I will carry her with me for the rest of my life. Rest in peace my sweet, sweet sister. Please hold our family in your hearts and prayers as we learn to navigate this world without her. Patrina, I love you with all my heart and always will.”
