Jason Transue was trying to convince his daughter, 26-year-old Sativa Transue, to drive across Washington state for Thanksgiving last week, but she told him on Thursday morning that she was going on a last-minute trip to Cancun, Mexico, with her boyfriend of three years, 31-year-old Taylor Allen.
"It woke me up. I thought it was not real. I hoped that it wasn't real," Jason Transue told Fox News Digital. "She was amazing. I know everybody says that about their own kids, but you didn't even have to know the girl. Her smile would brighten up anybody's day."
