"The dead children", man that seems so harsh. Couldn't you just leave the "dead" out of it and say the children have not yet been identified. To each its own though I guess. I feel for this family and hope the best for them.

You see that? Two dead. See? See? That was so sad. We need a fulltime paid firefighters with all the firehouse 24 hours and 7 days. Howoever. No more sheriffs. Firefighters need.

what? Yeah, we probably could use more fire fighters, most communities could use more. But what has the Sheriff got to do with this? Don't post stupid stuff.

Do you try to throw this into EVERY story that is posted on barnesville.com?

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of these two precious lives that were lost. RIP little ones...

Not trying to sound mean but it does not matter how many fireman we have when it comes to a trailer fire there would not have been enough time to rescue anyone. They burn up so quick so I too agree your post is stupid nor required here.

When a trailer catches on fire it will go up in flames very fast, almost instantly. It would not have mattered if the fire department was across the street. Most trailers are set up with the bedrooms on the opposite ends so it may have already been too late for her to save her babies. As a mother myself I know I would have rather died with my children. I don’t know o many mothers who would feel any different.
I am praying for their mother and their families. The children are in the arms of Jesus now. I could never imagine and am praying that no one else ever has to know what she is going through.

Please be considerate of the family and don't post anything stupid or negative. This was a tragedy, the family was only trying to keep warm in this cold weather. Just pray for the parents of these two precious girls that God will give them strength in this time of need.

This is so very sad, Ashley I am so sorry. You and your family will be in our prayers.

No more sheriff. The city and county has 69 firefighters. Firefighter need? We need a fulltime paid firefighters with all the firehouse manned 24 hours and 7 days. What we do? Clean, cook, check off, the trucks get washed and waxed. Anything?

I'm so sadden about the loss of these children. On the news its said the children woke the mother about the fire.My question is why didn't she get the children out of the home? I know she in shock but my children would have been out before me.

#20 Ms. Georgia on 01/06/10 at 07:48 AM

I strongly agree with you. They were just a family trying to stay warm during this cold season. Please pray for the family. My condolescences goes out to them for the lost of the children.

No need to rehash the story and try to second guess what happened here. It serves absolutely no purpose.
My thoughts and prayers are with Ashley during this very difficult time.

I really don't think a mom would leave her children in a trailer to burn up. I am sure that young mother (of those 2 beautiful little girls) is feeling some major pains, my heart and prayers go out to her. I just can't image the heartache and pain that she and the family are going through. Hearing your kids scream and you're not able to get to them, not to mention those neighbors that tried to help.
This can happen anywhere, I wish their was away to make those trailers safer, they are such a death trap.
Does anyone know if there is going to be a fund set-up for this family?

That would be "The trolls that are trying to change news grammer..."

#24 Pat on 01/07/10 at 09:03 PM

Someone asked if a fund was being set up for the family. The obit on www.Conner-Westbury.com website says in lieu of flowers, donations re requested to be sent to the funeral home to assist the family with expenses.

My heart goes out to you Ashley and your babies. I had only meet you a few times, but know if you ever read this that my prayers and those of the rest of my family goes out to you and your husband.

God Bless...

i can not even imagine the pain ashley is going through as i am a mother to a little girl as well and i do not know her but i am sure she tryed every thing to get her children out of that house and i do not appreciate people second quessing her she oviously loved them enough to try to keep them warm and ewhen it comes to a trailor fire you can only do so much in the little given time she too was in the hospital with really bad burns to her arms and face so dont tell me she didnt try if she didnt try she wouldnt have been injured at all
