The beauty queen's mother was leaving an exercise class that morning when she noticed a text from her daughter. It was apologetic, she said. Then she nearly blacked out.
Simpkins said that after she received the text, she and her husband David Simpkins called the police and jumped on a plane from their home in South Carolina to New York. As the aircraft was taxiing on the runway, the police called back and"confirmed that she was no longer with us."
Later, they flew back to join their family at another daughter's house."I walked through the door and just collapsed in my son's arms," Simpkins said."I couldn't remember how to breathe. It was so hard. Feeling the way I felt and watching my children hurt, it's almost like I'm bleeding." She shared that Kryst suffered from high-functioning depression and had attempted suicide before."She was in her early 20s, just before that first attempt," she said."That was the first time I noticed smiles were a little forced."
Now she clings to memories of her"incredible" daughter."Her intelligence was there from birth, honestly, and a lot of her achievements didn't really surprise our family. She always sought to do better, to learn more."
