NEW CASTLE, Pa. - After flames ripped through a New Castle home, killing a mother and daughter and another teen early Wednesday morning, 21 News' Erin Simonek spoke with the New Castle families of the victims who say it's a tragic accident that took away bright lights in this world.

The fire killed 41-year-old Courtney Payne, her daughter, 17-year-old Terianna and Terianna's friend, 18-year-old X'Zavia Booker.

"I keep hearing that same playback my Dad said and over again, "your daughter's dead," recalled Anthony Booker, X'Zavia's father when he found out his daughter was one of the victim's in the fire. 

"They said three people and they asking me who was in there and I couldn't think because I just woke up," said LeAnne Payne, Courtney's sister and Terianna's aunt. "Courtney, they told me she was gone."

The Payne family describing the outpouring support from the New Castle community.

"They just poured out the support to family, friends, from the school, the cheerleaders," said Kathy Payne, Courtney's mother and Terianna's grandmother. "I'm speechless, just speechless."

Courtney being described as the backbone of the family and being the neighborhood mom.

"She's the type of person where if anybody needed anything like a place to stay, food to eat, they'd go to her house, everybody would be at her house," said Nicole Payne, Courtney's sister and Terianna's aunt. "You just can't comprehend something like this. The most nerve-wrecking time was trying to figure out where the kids were."

"Courtney was the most caring, loving person. People loved her. She loved everyone. She would do anything for everyone," Kathy Payne added. 

Terianna, known as TiTi, was senior at New Castle, getting ready to graduate.

"She would call us and say 'Hey Aunties, I'm thinking about my future. I'm thinking I might want to go to the job corps or I might want to be a flight attendant.' She had so many different avenues of interest," Nicole Payne added. 

"TiTi was bubbly and fun to be around," Kathy Payne added. "She always made me laugh. She would come over and watch old movies with me. I gave her her culture."

"All that night for some reason, every couple of hours, I was waking up and I don't know why," said Kathleen Ingram-Booker, X'Zavia Booker's mother to 21 News. "Then that night, my father-in-law comes in, he just comes running in screaming, "X'Zavia's dead."

Ingram-Booker said she was in disbelief that her daughter was a victim to the fire. 

X'Zavia was spending the night at the home. Her parents told 21 News she had the biggest heart and was always loyal, down to earth and kind to everyone.

"She never was mean to nobody," Ingram-Booker added. No matter who you or what you were, she was always happy even though she dealt with hard stuff in her life. She was beautiful inside and out."

X'Zavia recently graduated from Laurel School's this past month and was an aspiring cosmetologist and esthetician. 

"She truly touched everybody's heart she met," Anthony Booker said about his daughter. "She was always happy and when he wasn't, we couldn't even tell."

Courtney Payne's son was not at the home the morning of the fire, which was also his birthday.

"If Courtney was here, she would say to us, "Now that I'm gone, who's stepping up?" Leanne Payne said. "That's exactly what we're going to do to help her son. We'll do whatever we can. My support team is so strong."

A memorial service is still in the works for the victims.
