Kristal Horn finds small comfort remembering the last words she heard from her daughter, Arika Rogers, over the phone Tuesday afternoon.
"The last thing she said to me was, 'Mom, I love you. Thank you, mom. I love you.' That's the last thing she said," Horn recalled.
Horn said her daughter was"a beautiful soul" who was taking online classes to become a medical assistant. She is survived by her two children: 1-year-old daughter, Amieah, and her son, Mari, who turns one on Friday. "I believe that God ordained it that way that they would be here with me," said Horn. "I just thank God that they're here, that I can have my grandkids here with me."
While fire investigators have not released an official cause of the fire, Bragg said he was told by investigators that the tragedy was the result of a cooking fire. The family said the surviving witness also told them a grease fire got out of control.
