Emergency officials' reports showed that the Pennsylvania home had no smoke detector. The father, Joseph Norton, 48, was taken to the Pottstown hospital, where his death was confirmed. His wife, Bernadette Norton, 47, was in critical condition.

Deputies quickly got her to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest, where she was also pronounced dead. The Montgomery County Coroner's Office has not revealed the identity of their 14-year-old son because he is a juvenile.

The death of three children and their grandmother was announced following a fire outbreak in Texas.

"Thank you Tyler, Jeo, and Bernadette. You will forever be missed."

She made all her students and coworkers feel valued and loved. Edwards' words showed that Bernadette was an excellent counselor who always has a smile on her face when she said:

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

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.

Jackie Pham Nguyen, the children's mom, had to be physically prevented from running into the fire. Firefighters reported to the scene after being alerted, but the building was already enveloped in fire.
