Tragic!
MUSKEGON HEIGHTS - Six-year-olds Yamesha Phillips and Torey Day were kindergarten friends who roamed the neighborhood Sunday looking for flowers for Mother's Day. But when the two came across a pool in an abandoned Muskegon Heights home's backyard, they got dangerously close.
Relatives said Day fell first into the pool, and Phillips tried to save him by tossing him a rope, but ended up falling in after him. "She was a sweetheart and I can't be upset with my baby," said Youshemia Phillip, the little girl's mom. "She gave her life for somebody else's, and that was just the God in her."

The house, which is in the 2500 block of Howden Street, was recently abandoned. Some neighbors believe the pool was drained and had accumulated water from recent rainfall. But Phillips' family said the water was up to an adult's chin in the shallow end when they tried to pull the two children out. The pool was not covered but was in a gated area.
