Toddler found alive in dead mother's arms after being flung from home by tornado

[JBond]

Tornadoes are a part of life here in Kansas. I will be praying for this family.

A Florida toddler was miraculously found alive in the arms of her dead mother Sunday after they were flung approximately 200 feet from their home by a tornado spawned by Tropical Storm Debby.

MyFoxTampaBay reports 32-year-old Heather Town was found by neighbors in a wooded area after a tornado struck her mobile home in Venus. The neighbors were able to find Town after they heard her three-year-old daughter AnneMarie crying.

"When they found her, she was literally holding her baby, her little girl," witness Kim Bass told MyFoxTampaBay. "They took the little child from her because she was having a hard time breathing and she had barbed wire on her and was in a very dense section of woods, about 50 feet back there."

Town, who was a mother of three, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her father, Elmer Town, tells MyFoxTampaBay AnneMarie is in stable condition with broken ribs and a broken pelvis. He says his daughter's final act shows how much she loved her children.

"We know she held onto that baby and saved her life, and that's the type of person she was," Elmer Town told MyFoxTampaBay.

Heather Town. Mother.

Yes she was. I hope that every parent would make the ultimate sacrifice to protect the life of their child. It is one of the things I hope for most in myself.

Heather Town punctured the hope boundary. She went above and beyond the role everyone who knew and loved her for. That's why I call her Hero.

Was about 30 miles north of there when this happened. We just got the big thunderstorms though. Some of my mother's acquaintences knew this lady.

No love like....
