Their father was in the backyard napping and described that “in an instant” the pillar collapsed.
And they were immediately taken to hospital.
Hours after the incident they were pronounced dead from their injuries at the hospital.
“I looked at it 100 times. I never thought a brick pillar would come down like that – it was never in my mind,” he told WKYC.
“I don’t blame anybody, I don’t blame myself, I don’t blame those girls.”
“Accidents happen. They were a gift and they’re needed someplace else now,” he said.
“They are definitely beautiful. But their real beauty is and was on the inside and it still is on the inside.”
Adding that: “You couldn’t be around them without smiling or laughing.”
