Little Dominique Dies
posted (March 17, 2020)

And the other 5 year old victim's grandmother is also in that deeply sad place between grief and shock.  She had hoped and prayed for Dominique Rhamdas's survival, putting her faith in a positive outcome, but it wasn't to be; he died at 6:30 yesterday evening.  

This afternoon she told us that she is afraid and in pain but that she's also angry. 

Jennifer Andrews - Dominique Rhamdas' Grandmother
"We are truly and really prayed that he would have pulled through, we had faith you understand and then I guess he get tired or he couldn't fight no more you understand. We are so heartbroken because at least we wanted - Shakira already died and so we really wanted Dominique to make it you understand but we are so torn up, our family is torn up. Phillip mother, her heart is broken because it is so sad that people have to die like the way they died. People said you have to be strong, sometimes but how can you be strong when something like this, when you are in so much pain. I have pain and I have fear and I'm angry, I'm so angry you understand but thank god my granddaughter Deija, she came out, so we have a jar to hold on to, I'm so happy that she came out."
