Since the horrific ordeal, the mother, Mai Sheng Hodges, wrote on her Facebook page addressing what happened: "Thank you everyone for all your loves and support. It mean so much to me and my 3 children's. As for now I would like some quiet and privacy as I try to live through each day without my precious, loving children's.
There's many stories out there that aren't true of what happen. I still can't get the picture out of my head. For those that know Robbie know he was once a loving and caring husband and father to our children. I was never in abusive marriage, he had always been a caring and loving person, but for whatever reason went thru his mind, heart to do this I can never imagine why. And I ask myself everyday "why"?
"Heavenly Father, please hold my 3 babies into your home where they are warm, love and care forever. I know someday we will cross again. Until that day please know I love, miss, care and think of them everyday and night." Amen"
A GoFundMe page is set up to support the grieving mother to fund her three children's funeral expenses.
