Courtney and Ashley Womack

It's been two years since sisters Courtney Lynn Womack and Ashley Elizabeth Womack perished during a house fire at the home of their grandfather during January 2007. 

The deaths of Courtney, 8, and Ashley, 6, shocked and saddended the Bond community located north of Wiggins. The Stone County residents had not seen a child fire fatality in more than 30 years, according to the Fire Chief Jody Hatten in Wiggins.   

“That’s what’s been so tough right now, with everybody,” Hatten told a reporter with www.sunherald. com at the time. "It's all jumping on us at one time."
