Her "sickening" death, she says, "cannot be in vain".
The UK government has made it a priority to see the restoration of the political institutions in Northern Ireland, she says, adding she will do all she can to ensure the success of talks.
There is a "narrow window in which progress can be made", she says, adding: "We must act now."

Labour's Yvette Cooper, who chairs the Home Affairs Committee, urges the minister to read the new form "from the point of view of a rape victim".
She says it is "pretty obvious that this form will deter people from coming forward", and adds that the Crown Prosecution Service should rewrite it.
Reponding, Home Office Minister Nick Hurd says the form is an "honest attempt" to pull together advice from a "fragmented system".
He says the police are "absolutely open" to continue working with victims' groups to "improve" the document.

Conservative MP Michael Fabricant says those who are falsely accused of rape are also victims - and backs the new forms as the "right course of action".
But Labour's Harriet Harman says although disclosure of evidence is a problem, there is "massive under-reporting" of rape cases.
One of the reasons for this, she says, is that victims often find their characters being "attacked in court".
In response, Nick Hurd says the guidance on mobile phone data should not be used "as a matter of course" but proportionately.

Image source, HoCFor Labour, Shadow Home Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds says the proportion of rape cases that actually result in prosecutions is "appalling".
He says the disclosure of evidence has been a "running sore", whilst cuts to the police and the Crown Prosecution Service have hampered their ability to investigate crimes.
In reply, Nick Hurd says disclosure of evidence has been an issue for a "very, very long time", and accuses his counterpart of making "cheap political points".
The new form will ensure best practice is spread and different police forces follow a "consistent" approach, he adds.

Image source, HoCHome Office minister Nick Hurd says although the "new national form" is being introduced today, police forces have been asking complainants for consent to examine their phones "for some time".
He says the new documents should provide "clarity".
There is "widespread recognition", he adds, that the disclosure of evidence must be improved.
He says phone data should only be requested in pursuit of "reasonable lines of inquiry" and must be balanced with the right to privacy.
