People are praising the Duchess of Sussex for going out of her way to check in on the victim's family after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde.

The nephew of Irma Garcia, one of the teachers killed alongside 19 children and another teacher during the massacre last month, shared the news of the phone call his mother received from Meghan Markle

“The way my mom just got off the phone with Meghan Markle... the Duchess, she's so sweet and lovely, she really went out of her way to check on the family, it means so much."

Garcia's husband, Joe Garcia, also passed away just two days after his wife's murder “due to grief,” his family said. The two had been married for 24 years and had four children.

Without any fan fare, Markle made an unannounced visit to Uvalde just two days after the horrific event to pay her respects to the victims. Wearing jeans, a t-shirt and a blue baseball cap, Markle reached down with her head bowed and placed flowers at a makeshift memorial outside the courthouse.
