Will there ever be justice even if her murderer is put in jail to its maximum sentence? What I really want is prevention to not happen to women like Anna, to people who are in a relationship where someone feels like they have the control or the power to take someone else’s life.&quot;</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2021/tfc/08/02/20210802_anna-lopez-1.jpg"/><figcaption>Anna Lopez is remembered by her coworkers and friends as a loving daughter and a loyal friend.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Lopez&#x27;s coworkers and friends remember her as a loving daughter and a loyal friend. &quot;Her personality is electric.
