«We are devastated, commented the kids’ grandmother Virginia Saldivar. They were very sweet children. Davy loved animals, Starbucks, and shopping on site. She was my sunflower, my sunshine. Xavier was the nicest boy. He loved everything connected with the army, and video games. Daisy was the Princess, she was the favorite of his grandfather, he loved kittens and dressing up, and watching videos on YouTube. Dominic was my heart. He was the most amazing, loving boy. He liked to play the trombone, watching videos on YouTube and play video games. He loved his family, and was her protector.»
