A mom of a young girl with Down syndrome who was admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 has announced that their family have said their final goodbyes and chose to turn off her ventilator.
According to reports, Chloe Rollins was diagnosed with coronavirus on August 2 and placed on a ventilator under sedation.
So many prayers and messages of support were sent to her local community of Hoover, Atlanta, and far beyond, lending her family so much hope and strength in hopes that she may pull through.

In a Facebook update, Stacy wrote: “Danny and I would like to say thank you to all who prayed for Chloe and sent kind words. Our Angel is now with God.”
The teenager was reportedly known for her extremely bright attitude and the hugs she would give out. She was also a huge fan of country music singer Blake Shelton.
