[grissom]

Rest in peace sweet babies, Father in heaven please bring strength and comfort to the surviving members of this family. ...I am so very sorry for your loss!!!

[ronijohnson]

This is horrific, devastating and beyond heartbreaking story. If they were my kids I couldn’t survive this! I know their family are grief stricken! Look at 5 precious faces! God give their parents strength and comfort…such beautiful, sweet smiles!

As sad as this is, it is also highly suspicious and the only way to honor these poor babies is to thoroughly investigate. This doesn't have the signs of accidental.

Lord this is sad, just like the family that died on the duck boat I wanna say that’s was in Missouri but I just never got over that. Losing so many people at once I probably would die

[jas]

I don't know why I find it suspicious when all of someone's kids die in a fire but the parent survives.

[tayyy]

I cant even begin to imagine what the parents is feeling. God Bless❤️🙏🏽

[lashayj]

God has all 5 without a doubt. Stay prayed up and in faith. The enemy flees as you command him away through the name of Jesus christ.

Please may God rest they're beautiful souls
