Heartbreaking final words from Dalyce Curry to granddaughter before losing life in LA wildfires
Dalyce’s granddaughter, Dalyce Kelley, shared a heartbreaking account of her grandmother’s final moments.
The last time Kelley saw her grandmother was on January 8, just after midnight.
They had just returned home from the hospital, where they had spent time together.
At that time, they could see smoke from the fires, but they believed it was too far away to pose a threat.
Kelley remembers her grandmother wanting to rest in her own bed.
Before saying goodbye, Curry gave her granddaughter a warm kiss and told her, “I love you.”
Kelley responded with “I love you too” and made sure her grandmother was safe.
They were both tired and did not realize the danger they were in.
“We were both so tired from the day at the hospital. I didn’t feel like she was in imminent danger because there was no evacuation order at that point.
“Sometimes her kisses were too wet that you have to wipe it off a little bit. That’s who she was. Just loving.
We kissed, said goodbye and I drove back to my home. That was the last thing we said to one another.”
Kelley desperately searched for her grandmother
Hours later, Kelley woke up to the shocking news that the fires had spread to her grandmother’s neighborhood in Altadena.
She quickly attempted to drive there, but when she arrived, police had already set up barriers around the area.
The scene was devastating; everything was blackened and destroyed.
Kelley described her feelings as she witnessed the aftermath, saying it felt like she was “in hell.”
She said: “It was all black and I just panicked because I felt like I was in hell.
She spoke to a man who told her that his entire house had burned down.
In her panic, Kelley provided the police with her grandmother’s information and address.
Sadly, she was later informed that her grandmother’s house had been completely destroyed.
