It’s a sad thing, the fact that we usually don’t realize just how precious life is until it’s too late.
Often it can take the death of a loved one, the loss of a friend, a life-changing accident, to make us regret not appreciating and making the most out of every moment of our lives.
Stories like this one certainly remind us of the fragility life’s fragility, in any case, and how things can change so suddenly from one day to the next.
On Thursday, October 20, 2022, a tragedy took place in Hilliard, Florida, one that shook the entire local community to its core …
As per reports, firefighters received a panicked 911 call to respond to a structure fire at 2903 Jane Lane, Nassau County in the early hours of Thursday morning.
A neighbor had reported the fire, telling the 911 operator that she didn’t know if there was anyone inside of the house in question.
When firefighters arrived on scene, however, the awful truth became apparent: a woman and her two children were inside.
Authorities were later able to confirm that 40-year-old Lesley Moore, her 11-year-old daughter, Aleah, and seven-year-old son, Wesley, lost their lives in the blaze.

“We didn’t know at first if anyone was inside the structure but later determined we did find three bodies (sic),” said Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper.
Lesley’s uncle, Mitchell Tanner, said: “I don’t understand it. I’m lost; I’m hurt. Something’s not right.”
The heartbroken relative pondered how the fire could have broken out without anyone inside the home waking up.
Moreover, he explained that Moore had five dogs in the house, and it didn’t make sense that none of them barked when the fire started.
“She loved her kids,” he said of his niece. “They were her life… Those kids, they were just starting life (sic).”
Sheriff Leeper told how Lesley and her children were alone inside the home, but for the dogs. Lesley’s partner was out of town at the time.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and loved ones of Lesley Moore at this most difficult of times.
