That's how Rembert-Wilkerson said she wants people to remember Turner.

“I just don't want people to remember her as the University of California student who was killed in a crosswalk. My daughter was so much more than how she died,” she said.

Quarles pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, possession of weapons while under disability and failure to stop after an accident.

A judge sentenced him to 12 to 16 years in prison.

“Twelve years is really not enough considering my daughter is going to be gone forever,” Rembert-Wilkerson said.

Cayden died in hospital. Her roommate was seriously injured but survived.

“I think it's still difficult for her…we feel survivor's guilt,” Rembert-Wilkerson said.

They believe Turner is looking out for her younger brother Justice, with whom she only spent two years.

“I felt like justice had been served. He’ll come out and he’ll have a chance to start over, get a renewal and hopefully do the right thing,” said Jermaine Wilkerson, Turner’s stepfather.

“She never gave me a single day of grief and I’m just honored to be her mother,” Rembert-Wilkerson said.

Another way loved ones are keeping Turner's family alive is through the Cayden Turner Memorial Foundation Scholarship.

The money helps eighth grade students at Immaculate Conception pay their tuition.
