I'm 15 and I've seen this little girl grow up. She was my best friends niece and therefore also mine. She is having her funeral on Monday April 27 and her viewing is tomorrow. She was the most beautiful little girl and she was going to be so smart and pretty. No one can stop crying yet. She was already so smart and got past 3 locked doors out to the pool..I love her and i miss her.

This happened two doors up from my home in Morrow back in the Mid 70's. A 3 year old at the time. So sad...I still haven't forgotten it, it was the little brother of a friend of mine.

Prayers go out to the Family and all involved.

I actually got sick listening to this transpire on the radio yesterday. Knowing how the mother felt not knowing where her child was and then listening to the Deputy call out for rescue, after finding her in the pool. As a parent that has lost a child, now is not a time to second guess "what if's". A child has been lost and the life of the whole family has been changed FOREVER! Lets hope that all rally around this family and give them the support they will need! The county did a great job responding to this call and I know first hand that they are all heart broken knowing the outcome.
Through all that myself and my family went through when my son died, one thing got me through the hard times.......Dr.Sams sat me down and shared things that had happened to him through his years and told me "You never get over it...You just get through it".
God speed to this little girl and to her family.

We are thinking of you, so sad to hear, we will be lifting you up in prayer that you will have the strength to get through it.

Sad, my prayers are with the little girl. She will never get to experience the oy og life. God has her now.

I am sad for the parents, it will take time for the family to come to grip with this sad event..

So many questions I'd love to ask, like this the pool protected by a fence and locked gate? As a pool owner, I had had my pool protected from day one, even when I didn't have any kids in my home at the time. I was worried about others using the pool while I wasn't home, and just like this something happening or someone getting hurt.

In the end, a little life is lost, thats so sad.

What a tragedy, this is so sad. May God be with all of those involved from the first responders to parents and hospital staff. Our prayers and thoughts are with the entire family. The grandmother responsible for watching this little child will never be the same. Please pray for the grandmother along with this entire family.

I pray this newest little angel can help God pour out the rain and paint the clouds forever and ever. Amen.

Does anyone know if it was their own pool? or an update on condition of child? I can't even imagine their grief.
