Amy Smith's mother, Melanie Hawkins, said no verdict or sentence will "make what happened that morning any easier for us to live with"
A man and his two sons have been found guilty of murdering two teenagers and a baby in a house fire in Derbyshire.
Six-month-old Ruby-Grace Gaunt, her mother Amy Smith and her friend Edward Green, both 17, died in the blaze in North Street, Langley Mill, in June.
Peter Eyre, 44, and his two sons, Simon, 24, and Anthony, 22, all of Sandiacre, were convicted at Nottingham Crown Court.
All three were accused of starting the fire as an act of revenge.

During the trial the court was told the "catalyst" for the attack was a dispute over a stolen moped, which had been allegedly taken by another of Peter Eyre's sons.
The moped belonged to Miss Smith's boyfriend, Shaun Gaunt, 18 - who escaped the fire with the help of neighbours. Another friend also escaped the fire.
Amy Smith and her baby Ruby-Grace Gaunt died on the landing and Edward Green was found near the front door
The prosecution said following a confrontation, Peter, Simon and Anthony Eyre drove to Langley Mill and petrol was poured outside the front door of the block of flats where Mr Gaunt lived.
The door was the only means of entry and exit, the court was told.
During his evidence, Peter Eyre denied being part of any plan to kill anyone or start a fire.
The blaze was captured by a neighbour from a bedroom window
Ruby-Grace was found in her dead mother's arms on a landing, while Mr Green was found dead near the front door.
Craig McFarlane, a neighbour, told the BBC he was one of a number of people trying to rescue the five occupants of the flat.
"There were two lads hanging out the bedroom windows upstairs," he said.
"I can remember one lad shouting 'I'm going to have to jump'.
Mr McFarlane helped to rescue two young men
"I remember shouting back to him 'just keep calm and we'll get you down' - they were both very scared, in fear of their lives.
"It was just a tragic, tragic day and it was on Father's Day as well which is supposed to be a day of celebration - and that father lost his daughter."
Det Supt Kate Meynell, said: "This investigation has always been about getting justice for Amy, Ruby-Grace, Edward and their families.
"What started as a dispute over a stolen moped very quickly escalated to the tragic events of that night in June. It was a foolish revenge attack gone terribly wrong."
