So Very Sorry Derm, Thoughts and Prayers for you and your family.

They are not dead that live in the hearts of those they leave behind.

Rebecca (Hanna's twin) was found. Hadley was confirmed to be found today too.

I edited my post to fix the error. I know it seems pointless now that the situation is so grim, but there have been people asking about specific girls here and there, so I figured I would document it with the best info I had. I know people have been putting the names of the girls in their prayers, so I suppose that is all we have left to do to help.

Sorry for your loss Derm.

For Mary Grace, I will answer HERE.

Praise God for we know we will see her again. Praying for the family to have the peace that only He can provide.

Duly noted, sir.

Continuing to pray for you and your family Derm. I don't have the words to express my sorrow.

A friend shared this with me... and I found it to be comforting.

So sorry to hear this
We've been praying for a miracle.
Praying for comfort and peace now

No soul dies…they only await reunion with their bodies, glorified.

I believe souls, like these little ones, don't have to wait to see the face of God.

"Knowing" derm for 20 years on TexAgs makes me feel like I just lost family.

I grieve for you, Derm

Thank you for pointing to Jesus throughout all this, without fail.

Dermdoc - huge hugs and prayers to you and your family. May the peace that surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and minds.

Prayers of peace and comfort for your family Derm….

God bless you all and Mary Grace.

Being a St. Anne's alum, this one really hits hard.

This entire event is one of the saddest things I have lived through. The hits just keep coming.

Thanks for sharing this, BaileyDane! I love the card suggestion... There are times that it just makes my heart whole again when people remember our son (we lost him 11 years ago)... while some people are hesitant to do it, thinking it will hurt, I can speak for myself that years down the road, it helps more to know he's not forgotten than the hurt it causes the heart.

This x 1000. I lost my wife to cancer last year and it means so much when people still share their stories and discuss their memories. It's not painful to me and it brings me joy knowing that she's not forgotten and had a positive impact on the lives of other. God bless all the victims of the Kerr County flooding and their families.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Being with the Lord is a blessing, but not the one we have been praying for. Lifting your family and the other families affected up in prayer. Rest in love, Mary Grace.

Love that song.

Prayers for peace for all of your family and for all who are grieving losses, Derm.
I have NO idea exactly what it will be like in heaven, but right now I am picturing Beverly's warm loving arms wrapped around this precious girl.
I am currently listening to "Hymn of Promise" by Natalie Sleeth.
Peace.

So sorry for all those affected. I've been hanging on every post on this thread all weekend.

Jesus is welcoming these sweet angels and I can only think His first words are "Well done, good and faithful servant."

Prayers for everyone grieving.

I'm not sure there is scripture to support this, and I wish not to blaspheme but I can't help but think that the reception Jesus gives to children is unlike anything we know.

Perhaps it's a personal hope, but Jesus loves the little children, this I know....

Derm, I am sorry. Your open faith while in peril will undoubtedly lead someone to Jesus. Your loss saddens us all, your strength will save a soul.

Here.

Kyrie eleison

Song for a young one meeting Jesus.

I'm so sorry derm. Been praying for you and your family for several days. Stay strong! Your Aggie family is here for you.

To you and Jeep -

I lost a 9-month old grandson to meningitis 4 years ago. I still hurt to this day.

But I carry him with me, in my heart, everyday and everywhere I go.

The pain of losing a little one runs very, very deep.

This one hit me very hard the last few days. Having followed this thread from page one, having three kids around these ages that attend camp and family friends whose daughters barely escaped in the early morning hours.

Prayers for your family, Derm and all others impacted.

Praying for peace for you and yours Derm. I cannot imagine your level of loss, but I know God is good. He will see you through.

So Mary Grace's parents want us to put a pink ribbon on a tree in our front yard in honor of her. Act accordingly.

Prayers lifted for both twins and their family. Double tragedy for this family.

Prayers for all the families and parents, may they be wrapped in peace from the Lord and know they are not lost, but forever in his arms.

Here.

I was recently blessed by a friend with a poem called "Epitaph" by Merrit Malloy. It resonated with me in a way only a handful of things have. I won't post it here, but if anyone grieving is moved to find it when the time is right, I hope it brings you a measure of peace.

My heart breaks for Derm, for the families, for the survivors, the workers, the friends and neighbors. Know that you are loved. Know that we feel your love for those that have gone ahead of us. Deeply. Know that our prayers are for what you need that only He knows, and that God in His wisdom will bring you a bounty of peace and grace.

Derm, I have watched you love God through your love of others countless times and in countless ways over the years. Know now how loved you are by us all.

From the Kerrville Daily Times (behind a pay wall) (TFND stands for Tivy Fight Never Dies, a rally cry of the High School in Kerrville)

.

Quote:

..Along with the fundraiser, the TFND nation extended a call for prayers for all affected and in the search for Coach Reese Zunker and his family. On Saturday evening, they hosted a prayer service; unfortunately, during the service, word was received that Coach Zunker's body had been found.


On Wednesday, July 9, they will have a "Kerr County Blessing" at Antler Stadium. The event will start at 7 p.m. with worship and prayer led by Young Life Director Josh Smithson. A social gathering on the field will follow.
"This special event is an opportunity for us to come together in faith, support and unity as we continue to walk through this time as a community," Neill said.

Johnny Football went to Kerrville Tivy. He had the kindest words to say about my cousin, Joseph Villavisencio, during his Heisman speech. Maybe his voice could help at this time. I just always had a respect for him that endured through all of his struggles.

Realized that Mary Grace's mom is a Junior Leaguer. One of my sorority sisters holds her in very high regards. Finding the biggest pink bow to put out front tomorrow
