Relatives and neighbors standing outside the home said there was a feeling of hopelessness as they watched Gissendanner standing near a window, begging for help. She was trapped inside the home with her two young grandsons.

Gissendanner's son, who lives in the home, was seen outside, screaming for help. He knew his mother and nephews were trapped inside the house, NewsChannel5 reported.

He and a neighbor tried twice to make a rescue through the back door. Both times, the thick and billowing smoke pushed them back.

Officials are investigating the cause of the fire.
