Sheldon and Shane Shorey had come to Wellington in the NSW Central West to visit their beloved mum. The two boys were all smiles as they walked home from the local pool on Tuesday afternoon when tragedy struck.
The kids, aged six and seven and based in Queensland with their father, were killed when an out of control car mounted the kerb and hit them about 4.30pm, also injuring their mother Shayleen Frail and two other children.
