Allyson and Skylar, her girls, were playing in their separate room as usual. Gaige ended himself in his sisters’ room, which was a familiar place of solace for him, as he frequently did.
Gaige and Skylar were really close.
However, things took a disastrous turn the next morning. Allyson, who had risen earlier than her siblings, texted Kate to let her know that she was unable to wake Gaige or Skylar.
Kate’s heart was racing as she hurried home. She could feel the gravity of the situation as soon as she got to the house.
“Of course I knew,” she said to People after opening the door and seeing inside.
She instructed Allyson to dial 911 without hesitation.
