Haylee Mazzella

Haylee Danyelle Mazzella 

July 13 2001 - June 3 2006

Age: 4 years old 

Haylee drowned on June 3 2006 at a barbeque that some relatives were having. At a little after 4:00 p.m., Haylee's mommy told Haylee it was time to get out of the pool as her little brother needed to have his diaper and wet clothes changed for the ride home. Haylee begged for just 10 more minutes of swimming, and her step-grandmother said she would watch her. Haylee's mommy reluctantly said yes and went into the house.

She was gone less than 10 minutes. In that short time, Haylee's step-grandmother decided to go into the house as well, and she left Haylee unsupervised in the swimming pool. Haylee's mommy started hearing people yelling "Call 911!" & came back outside, thinking someone had hurt their foot or some other minor thing. Instead she saw her 4 year old daughter laying on the ground having CPR done on her. She was lifeless.

Paramedics rushed her to the hospital but it was too late... Baby Girl had been under the water for too long & she just didn't have the strength to come back & stay here where she belongs. She was only 4 years old and would have turned five in a little over a month.
