"Her smile was endless, and her door was always open for anyone who needed her."

In another report, a family lost several of its relatives after a fire dashed through their Virginia home. Emergency officials replied to a 911 call on a fire outbreak on the 9900 block of Glass Road.

The fire outbreak victims were Identified as 2-year-old Ariabella Seaborne, Corinne Wright, 30, Aubrey Wright, 12, Aniyah Seaborne, 8, Julian Seaborne, 5, and an adult lady whose identity has not been confirmed by medical personnel.

Another horrifying incident made the headlines when the death of three children and their grandmother was announced following a fire outbreak in Texas. Records showed that the family was trying to stay warm as it was cold in Texas after a power outage.
