She was just like, ‘Okay, mommy, I’ll see you tomorrow.’ And I didn’t know if I was gonna see her tomorrow. I was so scared. I was just worried about the kids. I was so scared for them. This is real tough.” She added that she had to talk to her sister to take care of them, while her husband was on call with their eldest daughter to let her know that they won’t be coming home for the night.
