A tragic event occurred in Oklahoma City involving a family that suffered a great loss. The family, comprising Jenny Callazzo, a 37-year-old stay-at-home mom and boutique owner, her husband Sonny, who is a 42-year-old marketing executive, their six children, and Jenny’s grandmother, was living in a $565,000 home.
One fateful morning, Jenny discovered her 18-month-old twins, Locklyn and Loreli, unconscious at the bottom of their family pool.
The incident happened because Jenny’s grandmother, who was living with them and was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, accidentally left the back door open.
This allowed the twins to wander outside without anyone noticing. By the time Jenny found them, it was too late. Despite immediate rescue efforts, Locklyn and Loreli were pronounced dead two hours later.
The family’s grief is indescribable, as the loss of such young children in such a preventable manner is a heartbreaking tragedy.
The incident highlights the dangers of having open access to pools and the additional risks when caring for someone with Alzheimer’s, who might inadvertently create unsafe situations. Jenny and her family are now left to cope with this unimaginable loss, with their home and lives forever changed by this tragic accident.
