Maggie Murdaugh's husband was convicted of her murder. Her friends want to keep her memory alive.

Maggie Murdaugh made headlines in death. But the loss of the woman called "Magnolia" by her sister was quickly overshadowed by the high-profile tribulations of her husband, Alex — charged with murdering Maggie and their son, Paul, accused of nearly 100 financial crimes involving millions of dollars, fired from the law firm his great-grandfather founded, disbarred and embroiled in several scandals simultaneously. A jury convicted him on March 2 of both murders.

A key piece of evidence in the weekslong South Carolina trial — during which 76 witnesses, including Alex Murdaugh himself and the couple's surviving son, Buster, took the stand — was a video of Paul's. Prosecutor Creighton Waters described that video as Paul's testimony from beyond the grave.

But Caroline Price and Shellie West want to make sure they remember their longtime friend for the good times — "the way she was, and not what happened," as West put it.
