In Newnan Georgia, the house of a family with five children was burned and four of them were killed along with one adult. At one in the morning, firefighters appeared at their house but the home was completely burned. The last child remaining had no idea what was happening until her mother woke her up and urged her to run away. However, the child's mother, Alonna McCrary, was found dead in attempt to rescue her four other children, ages one through five. The one child who survived was sent to the hospital to check her lungs. She must feel lonely and abandoned because she no longer has her mother or her other four siblings by her side. Lately, a lot of people have been dying from tragic events such as this, or the Boston bombings. It is heartbreaking to know members of families are passing away, especially for this specific girl because she was the only one to survive.
