*This is one of those stories that’s hard to report. As you read on you’ll find out why.
Lois Oglesby, who had just given birth two months ago, did something extraordinary. After being shot in the head in the Dayton massacre, she held on long enough to call the father of her children.
Daryl Lee, her partner, posted on Facebook that she FaceTimed him just moments after taking a bullet to the head.
“She FaceTimed me and said ‘Babe I just got shot in my head, I need to get to my kids,'” he recalled.
“Like that’s strong as f*ck to hold off to call me.
“She was letting me know she loved me and to take care of these kids… I got you babe. I can’t stop crying.”

Oglesby, who also went by the nickname Lola, leaves behind her newborn daughter Reign and another six-year-old daughter named Hannah, according to the Daily Mail.
Oglesby was a nursing school student says her cousin, Darasha Merrett and had been looking forward to a career that would make the most of her love for children.
Merrett told the Dayton Daily News that she was up feeding her own newborn when a friend called her at 3am on Sunday to tell her, through sobs, that Oglesby had died in the Dayton shooting.
“She was a wonderful mother, a wonderful person,” Merrett said.
“I have cried so much, I can’t cry anymore.”
Merrett added that she and her cousin grew up in the same church. They were both on the same drill team and that Oglesby worked at her children’s daycare center.
“We all grew up in this little town,” Merrett said. “We’re all family.”
The Miami Valley Community Action Partnership, which is where the victim’s mother works, has set up a Facebook fundraiser to help cover Oglesby’s funeral costs and support and her children.
