From The Examiner

| Quote: | "I wanted to pull them out of the newspaper this morning and hug them tight," Smithton mother Anita Cohen said as she tried to digest the fact that her youngest and oldest children would no longer be "causing mayhem" around her house.
"I have lost my two livewires."
But Mrs Cohen is trying to deal with more than the loss of her 12-year-old daughter and her "little horror" Joshua (7).
"We lost more than just two in that fire and I am so, so sorry," she said.
Her daughter Claire's friends Danni Wigg and Tayla Braid also perished in the late-night inferno at the Cohen's Scotchtown farmhouse on Sunday night.
The pair had been sleeping over as part of birthday celebrations and it is understood the fire started when clothes drying near a woodheater caught alight.
"I would give anything to get them back," Mrs Cohen said.
"I have spoken to Karen Wigg but not to Maree Braid. It is a nightmare I wish I could wake up from," she said from her parents' kitchen table yesterday.
Sean Cohen, who suffered heat injuries as he tried to save the three girls still in the house, was discharged from hospital yesterday.
"Claire was Maggie's best friend. Maggie tried to wake her up and then little Joshua went back in. I didn't realise he had gone back in," she said.
She spoke fondly of the little boy who was her "baby", her "mate" and a "little horror".
"One time he filled his dad's lawnmower up with sawdust," she said through tears tinged with happy memories." |
