Stacy Fronheiser lived with her family in the rental on South First Street for less than a year, and they had been looking forward to the day that they would leave it for their own home.

“Nov. 30 is the closing. We had been planning to leave for about two months,” Fronheiser said.But now she will remember that house forever as the place where her baby daughter died.On Friday, Nevah Hoffman was tragically killed in a house fire in their apartment in the multifamily home on South First Street in Lehighton.Police have released few details as they continue to investigate the case.Fronheiser, who has two other children, said on Tuesday that three days after the experience of losing her daughter, she has little emotion left to give.“I’m numb. Not doing too good,” she said. “Just trying to stay preoccupied so I don’t think of it.”She recalled her daughter as a happy girl who loved being outside, and riding in her dad’s car.“She was just really happy, always smiling,” she said.Nevah was born March 23 — exactly seven months before the tragedy.“It was amazing,” Fronheiser said of that day. “She was 5 pounds, 6 ounces and 19 inches of pure, beautiful baby girl.”She got emotional as she ran through the chaotic events of Friday morning.She said she had let Nevah sleep for about an hour as she and her son got ready to go to a court date in a custody hearing for her older daughter.As she walked the steps to the top floor, where she, Nevah and Nevah’s father, Shane Hoffman, sleep, she was hit by a wall of black smoke.She grabbed a flashlight, located her daughter and grabbed her, and ordered her son out of the house.Once outside, she attempted to perform CPR on the girl, but it was too late.“I don’t think I’ll ever forget that day,” she said.Fronheiser said that police are pointing to an electrical problem, based on where the fire started, and the amount of smoke it created. She said the smoke alarms in the house had batteries, but were 12 years old, and no longer worked.In the days since, the family has stayed with Fronheiser’s sister. Fronheiser said that she has gotten good support from her close family and friends.“They all know me, and they’re doing their best to help,” she said.She said Nevah’s two siblings, a 4-year-old brother and 5-year-old sister, are working to understand what happened themselves.She said that her daughter has been “her rock.” Her son, who is disabled, says he misses the sister he called “Peanut.”“He says, ‘my Peanut died, black smoke’ ” Fronheiser said. “But he doesn’t understand. Then, he’ll say ‘Bring Peanut back, Mommy.’ ”This morning the family lay Nevah to rest. A funeral was scheduled for 11 a.m. at Miller’s Funeral Home in Lehighton.The family has started a gofundme to help defray Nevah’s funeral expenses.As of Wednesday morning, they had raised $435.
