Heartwarming obituaries for daughters killed by their mom
It was a sad weekend in Alabama as two young girls, Taylor and Madison Sheats, who were shot by their mother, Christy, on 24 June, were laid to rest.
Among those who attended the funeral, which took place on Saturday, was Taylor's fiancé, Juan Sebastian Lugo, who was supposed to have wed Taylor last Monday.
"Taylor was an amazing babysitter and professional nanny. She was loving and such a natural at providing care to children and they loved her in return. She loved helping each child along and also loved reading to them.Taylor was also an accomplished artist and loved sketching portraits, cartoons, and doing replications. She could duplicate anything and magically transpose it through sketching making it better. She had a great sense of humor and was very independent. She was beautiful both inside and out and was a caring, supportive friend to many," Taylor's obituary read, according to Cosmopolitan.
While Madison's reportedly read: "Madison was an awesome babysitter and very kind hearted. She also loved dog sitting for neighbors. Madison was intelligent, yet funny and genuinely sweet. She was an early riser, especially when there were family members in from out of town staying at her home. Madison would be up early sharing her love for cooking. She was true and honest with herself, and was a loyal and amazing friend to so many. Madison was a very pretty girl, who was also had a warm and innocent heart."
It is alleged that the shooting was as a result of a family meeting that turned into an argument, Cosmopolitan reported. The father of the girls, Jason, told Daily Mail that Christy called a family meeting, which he thought was going to be about telling the daughters about their crumbling marriage and possible divorce, instead, Christy Sheats pulled out a pistol and shot their daughters.
Christy reportedly also died after being shot by police for allegedly refusing to drop her weapon. It is not clear when her funeral will be.
