MILWAUKEE - Tiara Mosely was an honor student at Madison High School. She was a healthy teenager and that's what makes her death from swine flu so shocking.

She was a dancer, a swimmer and a healthy 14 year old.

"She was healthy. Nothing to complain about," says her mother Edwina Forrest.

That's why it's so hard for her to fathom her daughter's death.

"You hear about it on TV. You hear about it elsewhere, but you never think it's going to happen to you. Not here."

It all started a couple of weeks ago. Tiara complained of shortness of breath. Eventually, Edwina took her daughter to the ER. She says doctors had told her Tiara had a virus and sent her home. Tiara kept getting worse.

"It just kind of went downhill after that."

Tiara spent several days in the hospital. Finally, her body just shut down. Edwina wants parents to take swine flu seriously.

"I was watching the news where a father was at the park with his kids and he was enjoying the day. I was enjoying the day when this happened with my child and you never know when it's going to happen."

She urges everyone to wash their hands and do what they can not to get sick. She doesn't want any family to go through the pain she's feeling.

"It is hard. It's very, very hard. I wouldn't wish this on anyone."

A pediatrician says a death like Tiara's does tend to shock the community. He says it's important to focus on good hygiene, but he also says parents should not panic.
